Add a utility to download files

What does this MR do?

This is a follow up from !26838 (merged).

In that branch we have used a custom implementation trigger downloads programmatically. Since this behaviour is used several times in the codebase, it makes sense to provide a utility function.

This MR adds that utility function and removes the identified custom implementations.
