If you happen to have a very large collection of wallpapers with mixed up resolutions then think no further. ImageMagick comes to your resuce to help you sort the wallpapers based on the resolutions.
According to the makers of ImageMagick :
ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. It can read and write images in a variety of formats (over 100) including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF. Use ImageMagick to scale, flip, mirror, rotate, distort, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.
I have put together a little shell script which will help you sort you wallpaper collection according to resolution.

But with literally a huge database it takes ages to download the wallpapers to browse and download.

I have been using Transmission bit torrent client for quite some time. Its powerful, runs in the background, is processor friendly ( maximum that i have seen it use is 5% that too on a P4 1.7GHz system with more than 75 torrents).
But what I find it lacking is its ability to queue torrents. Still at version 1.83 1.92 (which is what I am using currently) and no queuing … 
.Only the Mac version supports queuing.
So in search of the holy grail I landed up at this Transmission discussion forum thread and found this queue script.
Even though the script worked well, I found that the script had some short comings.
I had added a bunch of torrents to seed them, when I found that the script (scheduled to run at an interval of 5 minutes) stopped the newly added torrents which were being verified or were scheduled to be verified before seeding.
