iOS and iPadOS restore files (ipsw’s) are requested and downloaded on demand by your computer (iTunes on Mac/PC, or Configurator on Mac), but you can speed up your device management by downloading the ipsw's in advance of needing them.
Following are links to the latest firmware for the most recent Apple devices, and instructions on where they need to be stored on a Mac for them to be recognised by iTunes or Apple Configurator
Apple Configurator 2.X Users
~/Library/Group Containers/Z12ABC3M4N.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Firmware
The code before ‘group.com.apple.configurator’ may change depending on your local configuration.
iTunes users
Copy the ipsw files in the one of the following locations, depending on product type. Again, it’s good practice to delete old ipsw files from these locations before copying in the new:
~/Library/iTunes/Apple TV Software Updates
~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates
~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates

Download Automatically with Terminal
If you need all of these firmware files it's most efficient to download them one at a time. You can do that using Terminal.app on your Mac.
Save the above URL's in a text file using an app like BBEdit, one per line removing blank lines and the device descriptions. Save that text file in to your downloads folder, we've called that file 'url_list.txt', then open Terminal and run these two commands:
cd ~/Downloads
xargs -n 1 curl -O < url_list.txt
