If you're allowed to access the files, and don't mind storing them locally (or in S3), I would try cacheing them on your server. You can do this very easily with the Dragonfly or CarrierWave asset toolkits -- they both have a method built-in that will allow you to grab a file by URL and save it as an attachment to your regular model. There's a Railscast about Carrierwave.
