Answer 1

You would be better off using the DownloadManager.
You can see example code by Lars Vogel here

The relevant bit:

DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
        Request request = new Request(
                Uri.parse("http://www.vogella.de/img/lars/LarsVogelArticle7.png"));
        enqueue = dm.enqueue(request);

Note that DownloadManager is available on API version 9 (Android 2.3, Gingerbread) and upwards.
