this article contains code on how to download a file from a URL in C#. The file can be downloaded from a url using WebClient.DownloadFile method. 

using (var client = new WebClient())
{
    client.DownloadFile("http://yourdomain.com/file/yourfilename.ext", "yourfilename.ext");
}

your application will throw an error if the account under which the application executes does not have permission to access the file.

check the code below, here I am using this code in asp .net MVC application to download the file to a particular folder. 

using (var client = new WebClient())
{
   string sPath = System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/Files/");
   client.DownloadFile("http://rigservbi.com/transocean/OpenPO/OpenPO_AIM_PROD.CSV", sPath   @"OpenPO_AIM_PROD.CSV");
}
