EasyDownloader reduces the amount of work required to setup and check for errors when downloading from another location. This is useful when, for example, a client wants to you to pick a file up from their FTP, SFTP, or regular website on a nightly basis. EasyDownloader gives you a one-method means of downloading those files, returns with a friendly error message if it fails (geared at cron job notifications), or returns an array of file names it downloaded.
