Title: Making downloadFile multiplatform

Two days ago, I've posted on Reddit the snippet I've used to download a file from internet with http-streams, along
with a version featuring a funky progress bar:

One interesting thing someone suggested is that that function could have been made cross platform simply adding `withSocketsDo`, so this is a patch implementing this.
