总结(并以某种方式润色和更新)之前的答案。以下三种方法实际上是等效的。(我添加了明确的超时，因为我认为这是必须的。没有人希望下载在连接丢失时永远冻结。)

public static void saveUrl1(final Path file, final URL url,
    int secsConnectTimeout, int secsReadTimeout))
    throws MalformedURLException, IOException {

    // Files.createDirectories(file.getParent()); // Optional, make sure parent directory exists
    try (BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(
         streamFromUrl(url, secsConnectTimeout,secsReadTimeout));
         OutputStream fout = Files.newOutputStream(file)) {

            final byte data[] = new byte[8192];
            int count;
            while((count = in.read(data)) > 0)
                fout.write(data, 0, count);
        }
}

public static void saveUrl2(final Path file, final URL url,
    int secsConnectTimeout, int secsReadTimeout))
    throws MalformedURLException, IOException {

    // Files.createDirectories(file.getParent()); // Optional, make sure parent directory exists
    try (ReadableByteChannel rbc = Channels.newChannel(
             streamFromUrl(url, secsConnectTimeout, secsReadTimeout)
        );
        FileChannel channel = FileChannel.open(file,
             StandardOpenOption.CREATE,
             StandardOpenOption.TRUNCATE_EXISTING,
             StandardOpenOption.WRITE)
        ) {

        channel.transferFrom(rbc, 0, Long.MAX_VALUE);
    }
}

public static void saveUrl3(final Path file, final URL url,
    int secsConnectTimeout, int secsReadTimeout))
    throws MalformedURLException, IOException {

    // Files.createDirectories(file.getParent()); // Optional, make sure parent directory exists
    try (InputStream in = streamFromUrl(url, secsConnectTimeout,secsReadTimeout) ) {
        Files.copy(in, file, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
    }
}

public static InputStream streamFromUrl(URL url,int secsConnectTimeout,int secsReadTimeout) throws IOException {
    URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
    if(secsConnectTimeout>0)
        conn.setConnectTimeout(secsConnectTimeout*1000);
    if(secsReadTimeout>0)
        conn.setReadTimeout(secsReadTimeout*1000);
    return conn.getInputStream();
}

我没有发现明显的差异，在我看来都是对的。它们既安全又高效。(速度的差异似乎无关紧要——我从本地服务器写入180 MB到SSD磁盘的时间大约在1.2到1.5秒之间波动)。它们不需要外部库。所有这些都可以使用任意大小和(根据我的经验)HTTP重定向。

此外，如果没有找到资源(通常是404错误)，所有抛出FileNotFoundException，如果DNS解析失败则抛出java.net.UnknownHostException;其他IOException对应传输过程中的错误。

这是另一个基于Brian Risk的答案的Java 7变体，使用了try-with语句:

public static void downloadFileFromURL(String urlString, File destination) throws Throwable {

    URL website = new URL(urlString);
    try(
        ReadableByteChannel rbc = Channels.newChannel(website.openStream());
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(destination);
       ) {

        fos.getChannel().transferFrom(rbc, 0, Long.MAX_VALUE);
    }
}

public class DownloadManager {

    static String urls = "[WEBSITE NAME]";

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
        URL url = verify(urls);
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        InputStream in = null;
        String filename = url.getFile();
        filename = filename.substring(filename.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
        FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("C:\\Java2_programiranje/Network/DownloadTest1/Project/Output" + File.separator + filename);
        in = connection.getInputStream();
        int read = -1;
        byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
        while((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1){
            out.write(buffer, 0, read);
            System.out.println("[SYSTEM/INFO]: Downloading file...");
        }
        in.close();
        out.close();
        System.out.println("[SYSTEM/INFO]: File Downloaded!");
    }
    private static URL verify(String url){
        if(!url.toLowerCase().startsWith("http://")) {
            return null;
        }
        URL verifyUrl = null;

        try{
            verifyUrl = new URL(url);
        }catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return verifyUrl;
    }
}

public void saveUrl(final String filename, final String urlString)
        throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
    BufferedInputStream in = null;
    FileOutputStream fout = null;
    try {
        in = new BufferedInputStream(new URL(urlString).openStream());
        fout = new FileOutputStream(filename);

        final byte data[] = new byte[1024];
        int count;
        while ((count = in.read(data, 0, 1024)) != -1) {
            fout.write(data, 0, count);
        }
    } finally {
        if (in != null) {
            in.close();
        }
        if (fout != null) {
            fout.close();
        }
    }
}

您将需要处理异常，可能是该方法的外部异常。

更简单的非阻塞I/O用法:

URL website = new URL("http://www.website.com/information.asp");
try (InputStream in = website.openStream()) {
    Files.copy(in, target, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
}

这个答案几乎和选中的答案完全一样，但是有两个增强:它是一个方法，它关闭了FileOutputStream对象:

    public static void downloadFileFromURL(String urlString, File destination) {
        try {
            URL website = new URL(urlString);
            ReadableByteChannel rbc;
            rbc = Channels.newChannel(website.openStream());
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(destination);
            fos.getChannel().transferFrom(rbc, 0, Long.MAX_VALUE);
            fos.close();
            rbc.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
