Good timing. I just sent a pull request that was patched in a few hours ago (Jul 20 2012) which should make your life real easy.

self.asset = URI.parse("http://s3.amazonaws.com/blah/blah/blah.jpg")

This will download your jpeg image, ensure that the filename is blah.jpg and the content type is 'image/jpg'

Paperclip version > 3.1.3 (you'll need to link it to github repo until it gets released).

UPDATE: confirmed working with paperclip version >= 3.1.4
