Answer 1

NSURLDownload not on iPhone see the note:

iPhone OS Note: The NSURLDownload class is not available in iPhone OS as downloading directly to the file system is discouraged. Use the NSURLConnection class instead. See “Using NSURLConnection” for more information.

Have a look at Apple's documentation about URL loading system and NSURLDownload.

If you've just looking to grab the contents of the page:

NSData *pageContents = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: [URLWithString:@"http://www.apple.com"]];
