Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Try adapting the code at https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel...tead-excel-sheet-post5080413.html#post5080413

One change, to use the links in column L and save them as the names in column M:

Code:
    With ActiveSheet
        lr = .Cells(Rows.Count, "L").End(xlUp).row
        For r = 2 To lr
            DownloadFile .Cells(r, "L").Value, saveInFolder & .Cells(r, "M").Value & ".jpg"
        Next
    End With
Remove the & ".jpg" if the file names in column M the file extension (e.g. ".jpg"), and change the saveInFolder as required.

NB back slashes are missing from the linked code. The saveInFolder lines should be:
Code:
    saveInFolder = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"
    If Right(saveInFolder, 1) <> "\" Then saveInFolder = saveInFolder & "\"
