Hi, Still brutal but maybe better way than saving WMS images through a web browser is to feed the WMS request URL to "wget" utility instead of a browser or something, with "-O" switch, if I remember right. And if you have GeoTIFF as outputformat you can use downloaded imagery with almost any GIS software immediately. Not any final solution for your users, though.

I assume that I am moving in the right direction although I am still unclear about how to download this image.
