Simple command line application which will retrive the latest set of Bing images.

Images are downloaded from Bing directly at: https://www.bing.com/HPImageArchive.aspx?format=xml&idx=0&n=8&mkt={Culture} E.g. https://www.bing.com/HPImageArchive.aspx?format=xml&idx=20&n=8&mkt=en-GB

Bing Countries

The app will attempt to use every known culture code to get images.

This does result in a lot of duplicate URLs, but the app is also designed to prevent this causing issues!
