Why on earth are you shelling out to do that? NSURLDownload exists for a reason.


In any case, the reason you aren't ending up with a file where you expect it is this:

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"-o %@", [downloadFilePath lastPathComponent]],

Given downloadFilePath /foo/bar/baz, this'll create a file called " baz" - with a leading space. Either use "-o%@" or use two separate arguments.
