Are there any specific PHP functions or methods that are recommended for downloading files from the internet?

To download files from the internet using PHP, you can use the `file_get_contents()` function to fetch the contents of a file and then use the `file_put_contents()` function to save it to a local file on your server. 

// URL of the file to download
$url = 'http://www.example.com/file.zip';

// Fetch the contents of the file
$file_contents = file_get_contents($url);

// Save the contents to a local file
file_put_contents('localfile.zip', $file_contents);
