Answer 1

Here is some code on how to open an URL and read from it.
url = new URL("http://IIS_server/doc/Yourfile.zip");
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true);
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
StringBuffer sbResponse = new StringBuffer();
int intChar = 0;
while ((intChar = in.read()) !=-1) {
     // got one byte as int from the server do something here to pass the byte from one stream to another (filestream)
     // there is a way to save to the local HD with an applet but you have to sign it and adjust some security policys
in.close();
