Use wget to get the file (if you know the url).
and use find /path/ -mtime +0 -name filename to find files older then 24 hours.

Ex.
Code:
# just for flashyness
function cleanup {
   path="/path/to/where/to/find/"
   pattern="filename.file"
   for i in $(find $path -mtime +0 -name "$pattern"); do
       rm $i
   done
}

# get file
wget http://url.to.site.com/filename.file
# Execute function to cleanup files older then 24h
cleanup


Best regards
Fredrik Eriksson
