I don't doubt this would be useful for some, but I'm not sure it is a
good default behaviour for Bongo to fetch things from the net.

Sounds good.

Should the paste function check for existing files then? I'm not sure
about this extension, it doesn't sound very useful to me.

I wrote something very simple for this:
(defun bongo-insert-and-download (url local-file)
"Download a file from URL, save it and insert it as LOCAL-FILE."
(interactive
(let ((url (read-string "Download URL: ")))
(list url (read-file-name "Save local file: "
temporary-file-directory
nil nil
(file-name-nondirectory url)))))
(url-retrieve url 'bongo-url-retrieved-callback (list local-file))
(bongo-insert-file local-file))
(defun bongo-url-retrieved-callback (status file-name)
(if status
(error "Error downloading %s" (file-name-nondirectory file-name))
(write-file file-name)
(message "Finished downloading %s" (file-name-nondirectory file-name)))
(kill-buffer (current-buffer)))
