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.
