I use this function GetFileFromUrl:

FUNCTION getfilefromurl
	LPARAMETERS lcRemoteFile,lcLocalFile
	LOCAL lnReturn
	DECLARE INTEGER URLDownloadToFile IN urlmon.dll; 
	    INTEGER pCaller, STRING szURL, STRING szFileName,; 
	    INTEGER dwReserved, INTEGER lpfnCB 
	lnReturn = URLDownloadToFile (0, lcRemoteFile, lcLocalFile, 0, 0) 
RETURN lnReturn=0
