WP Plugin that will grab an image?

Hi Folks - I've been googling around today (btw, love the Pac Man logo/game on Google today - but it's killing my productivity!! lol) - anyway - googling around and searching here on WF trying to find a WP plug-in, but I'm not having much luck.

I'm looking for a plug-in that, when adding an image to my post via URL, instead of just hotlinking to that image, it will instead grab it, download it to my own WP media library (/uploads folder) and serve it from my site.

In other words, I'm tired of finding an image (say on Flickr or sxc.hu), having to right click.. save as.. then go back into my WP post, add image, go to where I saved it, upload etc.

It would be so much easier if WP would just take the URL I gave it, grab the image for me, and put it in my /uploads folder.

IF this functionality already exists in WP - please let me know, cuz I can't find it! lol And if you know of a plug-in that will do this, please pass it along.

The only thing I've ever seen that did something like this was "Simple Post Thumbnails" (sorry, unable to link yet) - in that it would grab the image from the URL and save it in your WP media library. Unfortunately that plug-in only works w/ the Press75 themes - and turns the image into a thumbnail (as implied).

Thanks!!
