Answer 1

Sine you're stating that selenium is not the requirement and you can consider alternatives I would propose the following way:

• if you know the file URL (or aware of how that URL can be generated) you can download the file straight from an URL. Check this post to figure out the details:

As per examples in the post, you can specify whatever the path and the name you want to be for a target file.

P.S. - You can use either browser embedded console or some third patrty sniffers to watch what are the URLs for the files and get aware how to build them on-the-fly in your script under different conditions.
