Comment (by sivel):

 Would it make sense to add another arg to download_url()?  I am thinking
 in terms of media_sideload_image/wp_handle_sideload.  Looks like we
 download to a temp directory and then later move it over to uploads.
 Perhaps we could cut out some code and just dump it directly in?
