Ruby Download helper that can handle even big file downloads too

auth less use case

  require 'download'
  Download.file(uri_path,target_local_file_path)

with basic auth

  Download.file(
    'http://www.example.com/something.zip',
    http_basic_authentication: ['username', '123abc']
  )

if the target file path is a directory, the file name will be based on the uri-s file name. if no file path given, than the default location will be the current directory with the file uri name

The #file default return is a file path
