I have a file where are written downloading links
Google.com/image2
Google.com/image3
Google.com/image4
Google.com/image5
Google.com/image6
I want to download all of them with scripts. If the name starts 's' move this file s directory, if it's b, then move it to b directory.

Download all files, then move them using shell globs:
#!/bin/bash
wget -i /path/to/download_list
mv s* ./s/
mv b* ./b/
-i: Read URLs from a local or external file.
You might get a warning:
mv: cannot move 's' to a subdirectory of itself.
That's fine, you can ignore it, or use find instead:
#!/bin/bash
wget -i /path/to/download_list
find -maxdepth 1 -iname "s*" -type f -exec mv "{}" ./s ;
find -maxdepth 1 -iname "b*" -type f -exec mv "{}" ./b ;
And with a for loop you can run in on all alphabets, script name is script.sh:
#!/bin/bash
wget -i /path/to/download_list
mkdir -p {a..z}
for l in {a..z};
do
find -maxdepth 1 -type f -iname "${l}*" -not -iname script.sh -exec mv "{}" "./${l}" ;
done

What you are seeing in my answer is a simple script, save it in a file, make it executable, then run it. You have to change it so it suits your needs.

An addition to @Ravexina's nice answer.
Solution without a loop:
wget -i /path/to/download_list
mkdir -p {a..z}
# mv the files with rename tool
rename 's/^((.).+)$/$2/$1/' *
# clean up empty directories
find . -maxdepth 1 -name '[a-z]' -type d -empty -delete
