By first opening a TFileStream for the desired local file and then passing
that TFileStream to Get() so that it can fill in the local file with the
downloaded data, ie:

    TFileStream *fStream = new TFileStream("c:\\some folder\\table.csv",
fmCreate);
    try
    {
        try
        {

IdHTTP1->Get("http://itable.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?a=7&b=27&c=2004&d=7&
e=27&f=2005&s=ibm&y=0&g=d&ignore=.csv", fStream);
        }
        __finally
        {
            delete fStream;
        }
    }
    catch(const Exception &)
    {
        DeleteFile("c:\\some folder\\table.cvs");
    }

The version of Get() that you are currently using is returning the
downloaded data as an AnsiString that you are ignoring in your code.
