public void DownloadFiles(){

    try {
        URL url = new URL("http://nodeload.github.com/nexes/Android-File-Manager/zipball/master");
        URLConnection conexion = url.openConnection();
        conexion.connect();
        int lenghtOfFile = conexion.getContentLength();
        InputStream is = url.openStream();
        File testDirectory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Folder");
        if (!testDirectory.exists()) {
            testDirectory.mkdir();
        }
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(testDirectory + "/zip.zip");
        byte data[] = new byte[1024];
        int count = 0;
        long total = 0;
        int progress = 0;
        while ((count = is.read(data)) != -1) {
            total += count;
            int progress_temp = (int) total * 100 / lenghtOfFile;
            if (progress_temp % 10 == 0 && progress != progress_temp) {
                progress = progress_temp;
            }
            fos.write(data, 0, count);
        }
        is.close();
        fos.close();
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

You can use Following code. This works for me

URL url = new URL("some url");

//create the new connection

HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

//set up some things on the connection

urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");

urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);

//and connect!

urlConnection.connect();

//set the path where we want to save the file

//in this case, going to save it on the root directory of the

//sd card.

File SDCardRoot = new File("/sdcard/"+"Some Folder Name/");

//create a new file, specifying the path, and the filename

//which we want to save the file as.

File file = new File(SDCardRoot,"some file name");

//this will be used to write the downloaded data into the file we created

FileOutputStream fileOutput = new FileOutputStream(file);

//this will be used in reading the data from the internet

InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();

//this is the total size of the file

int totalSize = urlConnection.getContentLength();

//variable to store total downloaded bytes

int downloadedSize = 0;

//create a buffer...

byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];

int bufferLength = 0; //used to store a temporary size of the buffer

//now, read through the input buffer and write the contents to the file

while ( (bufferLength = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0 ) 

{

//add the data in the buffer to the file in the file output stream (the file on the sd card

fileOutput.write(buffer, 0, bufferLength);

//add up the size so we know how much is downloaded

downloadedSize += bufferLength;

int progress=(int)(downloadedSize*100/totalSize);

//this is where you would do something to report the prgress, like this maybe

//updateProgress(downloadedSize, totalSize);

}

//close the output stream when done

fileOutput.close();
