你可以在一行中使用netloader for Java:

new NetFile(new File("my/zips/1.zip"), "https://example.com/example.zip", -1).load(); // Returns true if succeed, otherwise false.

可以使用Apache的HttpComponents而不是Commons IO来下载文件。这段代码允许您根据URL在Java中下载文件，并将其保存到特定的目的地。

public static boolean saveFile(URL fileURL, String fileSavePath) {

    boolean isSucceed = true;

    CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.createDefault();

    HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(fileURL.toString());
    httpGet.addHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0");
    httpGet.addHeader("Referer", "https://www.google.com");

    try {
        CloseableHttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
        HttpEntity fileEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();

        if (fileEntity != null) {
            FileUtils.copyInputStreamToFile(fileEntity.getContent(), new File(fileSavePath));
        }

    } catch (IOException e) {
        isSucceed = false;
    }

    httpGet.releaseConnection();

    return isSucceed;
}

与单行代码相比:

FileUtils.copyURLToFile(fileURL, new File(fileSavePath),
                        URLS_FETCH_TIMEOUT, URLS_FETCH_TIMEOUT);

这段代码将使您对进程有更多的控制，不仅可以指定超时，还可以指定User-Agent和Referer值，这对许多网站来说都是至关重要的。

就我个人而言，我发现Apache的HttpClient在这方面比我需要做的任何事情都有能力。这里有一个关于使用HttpClient的很棒的教程

当使用Java 7+时，使用以下方法从Internet下载文件并将其保存到某个目录:

private static Path download(String sourceURL, String targetDirectory) throws IOException
{
    URL url = new URL(sourceURL);
    String fileName = sourceURL.substring(sourceURL.lastIndexOf('/') + 1, sourceURL.length());
    Path targetPath = new File(targetDirectory + File.separator + fileName).toPath();
    Files.copy(url.openStream(), targetPath, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);

    return targetPath;
}

文档在这里。

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);
}

这里有许多优雅而有效的答案。但是简洁会让我们失去一些有用的信息。特别是，人们通常不希望将连接错误视为异常，并且可能希望以不同的方式处理某些与网络相关的错误—例如，决定是否应该重试下载。

下面是一个方法，它不会为网络错误抛出异常(仅用于真正异常的问题，如url格式错误或写入文件的问题)
