Might also be a good use of Rio (search this group for info on Rio.)

To follow up on the excellent suggestion by Kenosis 
Here is how
Rio's copy-to operator could be used to download a file.
require 'rio'
rio(url) > rio('output_dir')
The post mentions that the file is compressed. If it is a gzipped file
and one wished to have an uncompressed local copy, something like the
following could be used.
rio(url_of_gzipped_file).gzip > rio('output_dir')
