Download excel file from webpage

Hello,
I am trying to set up a job that will download an excel file from a webpage and store a copy of it locally. I have tried to use the tHTTPrequest component but it keeps giving me errors. I have the direct download url that I am trying in the request (if I enter it into the address bar the download popup is displayed). I tried to find examples that other people have tried, however I have had no luck.
Is this something HTTPrequest can do? Or maybe tFileFetch? If anyone has a solution, or can point me in the right direction of previous questions or examples that would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

If it is bringing a pop-up from the website to save the file, then I think it is difficult to get it using the tFileFetch component...
can you try using wget using command prompt? if it can download, then you can use tSystem component to download the file...
please check.
thanks
