I use a simple define + wget for this kind of thing:
define download ($uri, $timeout = 300) {
exec {
"download $uri":
command => "wget -q '$uri' -O $name",
creates => $name,
timeout => $timeout,
require => Package[ "wget" ],
}
}
Use it like:
download {
"/tmp/tomcat.tar.gz":
uri =>
"http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/apache/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.30/bin/apache-tomcat-5.5.30.tar.gz";,
timeout => 900;
}

It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.
