This way ensure the file is streamed to the disk instead of memory.

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle:~6.0

get.php

<?php
require(__DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php');
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
$client = new Client();
$resource = fopen('/tmp/ubuntu.iso', 'w');
$client->request('GET', 'http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04.3/ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso', ['sink' => $resource]);
fclose($resource);
