You can only IsolatedStorage for file IO in Windows Phone 7

For downloading the text file, the easiest way would probably to use the WebClient's DownloadString() method. Then write the contents of this file to the IsolatedStorage.

Use WebClient. If you just want the contents as a string, it could be something like:

WebClient cli = new WebClient();
cli.DownloadStringCompleted += // your completed handler
cli.DownloadStringAsync(uri);

Because all network IO on WP7 is asynchronous, you have to attach an event handler and wait for the event to be raised before you get the data.
