I want to download images from other websites that are hotlink protected. I don't want to link those images to my website. I just wanted to download them.

The usual hotlink-protection method checks if the "Referrer" HTTP Header matches the domain name of the original website. You can easily bypass that by setting that header manually to point to a page in the website.
Edit the URL of the hotlinked image to break the link, or replace it with another image or message. Use a plugin to add a watermark to hotlinked images. Prevent hotlinking by adding a few lines of code to the . htaccess file of your web server host or CMS.
What image hotlinking is (and why you should prevent it) Image hotlinking is when someone embeds your images on their website by linking them directly from your website. It's bad enough when people use your media without permission, but image hotlinking adds insult to injury since it can also slow down your site.
Hotlink Protection prevents your images from being used by other sites. This can reduce the bandwidth consumed by your origin server. When Cloudflare receives an image request for your site, we check to ensure the request did not originate from visitors on another site.
