title: Download file from url using MVC
body: <p>How can I download a file from web (e.g. a pdf file - http:/addons.cursecdn.com/files/612/825/SC1_Remake_Installation_Guide.pdf) to the client in MVC? What I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    public FileResult Download()
      {
          const string name = "http://addons.cursecdn.com/files/612/825/SC1_Remake_Installation_Guide.pdf";
          const string type = "application/pdf";
  
          return new FilePathResult(name, type)
          {
              FileDownloadName = "SC1_Remake_Installation_Guide.pdf"
          };
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is giving me only the error message that it 'is not a valid virtual path'..</p>
