🙂Your code is Ok. You don't need to change anything. It is not the same about understanding what a network stream is!
Your file is downloaded (or in process of download at least) but you expect it to be a file on your local file system. Right? Hm... Error! File object and file stream are different things. 😉 Something you don't clearly understand, as seems. You can direct the file stream you received to a file you want, if you want (as seems it is). It's not something mandatory though. That's it. Add whatever you want in your code, if you want; don't expect it comes somewhere from - not clear where. Also, before continue, get familiar with file and file stream (as terms) - what is common and what different.
Hope this gives direction.
