Answer 1

wget from your server.

Answer 2

If you can remote into your server you could just navigate to the web page containing your download from within the server and save it directly to the server that way.

Answer 3

As long as you have PHP use:

<?php
$remotefh = fopen('http://domain.tld/path/to/file.ext', 'r'); 
$localfh = fopen('local/file.ext', 'w');
while(!feof($remotefh)) 
 {
    fwrite($localfh, fread($remotefh, '4096'));
 }
fclose($remotefh);
fclose($localfh);
?>

Answer 4

I think FTP protocol supports server to server transfer.
