You can just try making a web request, take the web response and write it to a file stream. Here is a code snippet that might help:

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("url");
var response  = request.GetResponse();
using (Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
    using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"file_path", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
    {
        dataStream.CopyTo(fs);
    }
}
response.Close();

Be sure to replace "file_path" to your destination folder and "url" to the required resource. Let me know if this helps.
