Examples

Single File

To borrow an example from PB_Shovel:

pb_spade -u "http://s160.photobucket.com/user/Spinningfox/media/Internet%20Fads/b217a64d.gif.html" -o "waterslide.gif"

This will download the file from that Photobucket page and save it as waterslide.gif in the current directory.

Album

pb_spade -u "http://s160.photobucket.com/user/Spinningfox/library/Internet%20Fads/Teh%20Interwebs%2053R10U5%208U51N355?sort=3&page=1" -o "serious_business/"

This will download all the files in that root of the Photobucket album and save them in the serious_business/ directory (inside the current directory). The directory will be created if it doesn't already exist.

Albums w/ Subalbums

pb_spade -u "http://s160.photobucket.com/user/Spinningfox/library/Internet%20Fads?sort=3&page=1" -o "memes/" -r

This will download all the files in that Photobucket album and inside its subalbums and save them in the memes/ directory (inside the current directory). The directory will be created if it doesn't already exist.

Whole User Libraries

pb_spade -u "http://s160.photobucket.com/user/Spinningfox/library/" -o "spinningfox/" -r

This will download all the files in that user's library and save them in the spinningfox/ directory (inside the current directory). The directory will be created if it doesn't already exist.
