natively, you can use

downloadNetThing URL, localFile

make sure you read up on how to use it and test for completions etc.


or you can get various Xtras to do it ... an FTP Xtra is nice because it will usually give a status bar as part of the package, but you can make one of those yourself too for the HTTP download.
