Since it's all binary data, this is not very useful. What you need to do is open a file and write the download contents to it. One way to do this is: require 'net/http' url = "http://stream.esvmedia.org/mp3-play/hw/19023001-19023006.mp3" res = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(url)) File.open('output.mp3','w') do |f| f.write(res.body) end For more information on writing to files, see http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/File.html -Jonathan Nielsen
