'Alternative to "Download" as a PowerShell verb?

I've got a PowerShell function Download-File, which uses WebClient.DownloadFile -- hence the name.

When I attempt to turn my .ps1 script into a .psm1 module, PowerShell warns me that "Download" is not in the list of recommended verbs.

What's a good alternative? Get- seems to be about getting properties, rather than contents (apart from Get-Content, oddly). Receive- seems a bit too passive for my liking (i.e. the script blocks until the information is sent) -- which doesn't fit well.

Ideas?

Solution 1:^[1]

For me, 'Get' is the most natural verb. It gets everthing, not just properties. For the noun I would use something like 'WebFile', you can easily guess what you get and where it is coming from.

Solution 2:^[2]

Wouldn't this work:

 Start-Download -Url http://blah/

Or use Invoke-Download, as per the recommendations for synchronous operations. Start is for asynchronous.

Solution 3:^[3]

What about New-Download or New-WebDownload or New-DownloadFile??

Solution 4:^[4]

Maybe Request-TeamCityArtifacts?

Solution 5:^[5]

There is no synonym for download. Copy is the closest I've found, being documented as a synonym of the unapproved Clone.
