Governor limits prevent downloading files larger than 3 megabytes using HTTPRequest.

Is there any other way to download a file from an external resource is Apex?

What exactly is your use case? Can you provide a link to the external resource in Visualforce or a custom field that points directly to it, instead of trying to funnel the data through APEX? – Michael Welburn Feb 1 at 17:40
@Michael Welburn: I need to integrate Salesforce with an external service. At some point Salesforce will ask the service to perform data processing and that results in a file that can potentially be rather huge. Salesforce has to somehow get hold of that file. The most direct way is to just use HTTPRequest. – sharptooth Feb 4 at 6:41
