By far the simplest and fastest way to download one or more public accessible files with an extension (here it is JPG but could be DOC or PDF etc.) is curl.

It should be available cross-platforms and easy to OSshell.

For a single file we just default its own name and it is down faster than one second:

curl -O https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ks-_Mh1QhMc/hqdefault.jpg

enter image description here

It will retain the remote name as here hqdefault.jpg.

However if the name is missing or embedded partway in the URL we need to assign a name using lowercase -o rather than Uppercase -O for example:

curl -o Matrix.png https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/matrix/images/8/84/Matrix.png/revision/latest?cb=20110307094037

We can thus simply provide a list of scrapped URLS in a list of mix and match with curl prefix and later run as a shell script. Here in Windows:

import urllib.request as req

    imgurl ="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ks-_Mh1QhMc/hqdefault.jpg"

    req.urlretrieve(imgurl, "image_name.jpg")
