Just to be clear, the file itself does not need to exist, only the 
directory where UAS will create or rewrite it:

set _uri to "http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en"
set _path to (path to desktop as Unicode text) & "google.html"
set _file to _path as file specification
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
	download _uri to _file replacing yes
end tell
