title: Python site crawler, saving files with Scrapy
body: <p>I'm attempting to write a crawler that will take a certain search entry and saving a whole bunch of .CSV files correlated to the results.</p>
  
  <p>I already have the spider logging in, parsing all the html data I need, and now all I have left to do is figure out how I can save the files I need. </p>
  
  <p>So the search returns links such as this
  <a href="https://www.thissite.com/data/file_download.jsp?filetype=1&amp;id=22944" rel="nofollow">https://www.thissite.com/data/file_download.jsp?filetype=1&amp;id=22944</a></p>
  
  <p>Which then in a web browser prompts you to save the correlated .csv file. How can I write my spider to be able to load this page and download the file? Or is there a way I can catch a static link to the information?</p>
