Simple http download file?

[demosthenes2k8]

Is there any simple way to download a file from the internet, given the URL as a cstring?

I found something on codeprojects, but it wasn't helpful at all-it seemed to be in VB.
Is there any simple command like what I need?
It just needs to store it in the executable's directory

Yes, it's a Win32 FAQ.
