Carrierwave gives you this feature to upload by providing the url. See the following code sample for help. Its taken from Ryan Bates railscasts. Its quite simple. http://railscasts.com/episodes/253-carrierwave-file-uploads Simply add the :remote_image_url field and use it in your form, enter the url and leave the rest to Rails and Carrierwave.

class Painting < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :gallery_id, :name, :image, :remote_image_url
  belongs_to :gallery
  mount_uploader :image, ImageUploader
end

Hope this helps.
