When you have a spreadsheet of image links, downloading them by hand is impractical. This script reads a CSV whose first column holds the URL and whose optional second column gives a preferred file name, then fetches every image in parallel using a thread pool. Concurrency is ideal here because image downloads are I/O-bound, so eight workers (configurable) dramatically cut total time versus a sequential loop. Each request streams in 8 KB chunks to keep memory low even for large files, and a per-request timeout prevents one slow or dead URL from stalling the whole batch. When no name is supplied, one is derived from the URL path and sanitized to remove characters that are illegal in file names across operating systems. Failures are caught individually and reported, so one broken link never aborts the run; a final summary tallies successes and failures. Install the only dependency with pip install requests.
