...or, if your host has wget disabled:

$url = 'path/to/file/';
$file_name = 'typo3_src-3.8.1.tar.gz';

// Same as running 'curl -o {file_name} {remote_file_location}' from shell:
exec('curl -o ' . $file_name . ' ' . $url . $file_name);

...though I find that hosts who disable ssh often disable exec() too...
