System.Net.WebClient webClient = new WebClient();

webClient.DownloadFile(@"http://stackoverflow.com/Content/Img/stackoverflow-logo-250.png",
@"c:\path\localfile.png");

You can use Server.MapPath to get physical directory on the server corresponding to the relative or virtual path, for example Server.MapPath("~/Images")
