I have a rooted phone with an app that periodically downloads via http a file from the internet. The app doesn't have an option for saving these files to the local storage (it only uses them from RAM I suppose).

I'd like to have some setup in which all downloaded files by this specific app get "intercepted" and saved into some directory on the SD card.

How can I achieve this?

What first comes to my mind in this context is using Tasker, which includes both the scheduling and the HTTP-GET feature. So you could e.g. setup a task which does the download and stores it where you like, and many things more. But I'm not sure whether your download somehow depends on the app you mentioned -- in which case this would be no solution to you. – Izzy Nov 6 '12 at 20:34
You'd have to be much more specific about what this app is doing. – Matthew Read♦ Nov 6 '12 at 22:20
