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。

下载一个文件需要你阅读它。无论哪种方式，您都必须以某种方式查看该文件。而不是逐行，你可以从流中逐字节读取:

BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(new URL("http://www.website.com/information.asp").openStream())
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
int count;
while((count = in.read(data, 0, 1024)) != -1)
{
    out.write(data, 0, count);
}

使用Apache Commons IO。它只是一行代码:

FileUtils.copyURLToFile(URL, File)

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);
}

在java.net.http.HttpClient上使用授权的解决方案:

HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
        .GET()
        .header("Accept", "application/json")
        // .header("Authorization", "Basic ci5raG9kemhhZXY6NDdiYdfjlmNUM=") if you need
        .uri(URI.create("https://jira.google.ru/secure/attachment/234096/screenshot-1.png"))
        .build();

HttpResponse<InputStream> response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofInputStream());

try (InputStream in = response.body()) {
    Files.copy(in, Paths.get(target + "screenshot-1.png"), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
}

下面是一个简洁的、可读的、仅使用jdk的解决方案，其中包含适当的封闭资源:

static long download(String url, String fileName) throws IOException {
    try (InputStream in = URI.create(url).toURL().openStream()) {
        return Files.copy(in, Paths.get(fileName));
    }
}

两行代码，没有依赖关系。

下面是一个完整的文件下载示例程序，包含输出、错误检查和命令行参数检查:

package so.downloader;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.URI;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        if (2 != args.length) {
            System.out.println("USAGE: java -jar so-downloader.jar <source-URL> <target-filename>");
            System.exit(1);
        }

        String sourceUrl = args[0];
        String targetFilename = args[1];

        long bytesDownloaded = download(sourceUrl, targetFilename);

        System.out.println(String.format("Downloaded %d bytes from %s to %s.", bytesDownloaded, sourceUrl, targetFilename));
    }

    static long download(String url, String fileName) throws IOException {
        try (InputStream in = URI.create(url).toURL().openStream()) {
            return Files.copy(in, Paths.get(fileName));
        }
    }    
}

正如so-downloader存储库README中所指出的:

运行文件下载程序:

java -jar so-downloader.jar <source-URL> <target-filename>

例如:

java -jar so-downloader.jar https://github.com/JanStureNielsen/so-downloader/archive/main.zip so-downloader-source.zip
