Here's a way to get a binary file and save it locally using net/http, built 
from the example on this site:

http://www.rubynoob.com/articles/2006/08/21/how-to-download-files-with-a-ruby-script

========================================
# Save the google logo.gif to the current dir.
require 'net/http'

Net::HTTP.start("www.google.com") do |http|
  resp = http.get("/intl/en/images/logo.gif")
  open("google.gif", "wb") { |file|
    file.write(resp.body)
  }
end
puts "Done!"
==========================================

This would of course need changes if you have to deal with authentication or 
HTTPS. :)
