I have the same problem only it works for some of my friends and says "1 of 1" for others. I cannot figure out any pattern as to why some friends photos are downloading and others will not. There is no apparent reason as the friends have lots of photos.

r87 fixes the 1/1 error when PG cannot find any photos to download.

The privacy wiki page https://code.google.com/p/photograbber/wiki/Privacy describes why PG cannot download pictures of friends even though you can see them on the ~actual~ facebook website. It is an unfortunate consequence of using the official Facebook API.
