Sounds like you're doing a POST instead of a GET to download the file when you're using ASIFormDataRequest (which afaik POSTS to a form).

You should normally fetch files using GET, which means you should probably use ASIHTTPRequest instead.

the solution is to use 

ASIHTTPRequest * request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];

instead of

ASIFormDataRequest * request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
