This isn't super-helpful, but...

You should use urllib.quote or urllib.quote_plus (the latter replaces
spaces with + instead of %20) rather than a half-solution that only
escapes one character.
tgtPath = ['d:\\', 'work', 'python', 'grab_n_view']
localPath = ''
for j in tgtPath:
localPath = os.path.join(localPath, j)
You could do something like:
tgtPath = os.path.join('d:\\', 'work', 'python', 'grab_n_view')
(and don't repeat it on every loop).
localPath = os.path.join(localPath, localName[-1])
What about using os.path.basename() instead of the localName business?
info = urllib.urlretrieve(i, localPath)
link2Visit stores the url to some photos.
After the script finishes running, I got a pile of incomplete JPG files,
each takes only 413 bytes of my disk space.
Did I miss something before using urllib.urlretrieve ?
Try opening one of the files in a text editor. It could be a 404 Not
Found error document or something.
