Download file path with NSFileManager Swift

Hi I have a whole bunch of .mp3 files I want to use with NSFileManager and store in the documents folder. Is there a way I can download the .mp3 files online and then have it save to the documents folder? This is what I got so far but no luck. I have multiple URL's so if you recommend I put them in an array please explain how I should exactly do that. Really lost here.

override func viewDidLoad() { self.tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")

    let filemanager = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
    let documentsPath : AnyObject = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory,.UserDomainMask,true)[0]
    let destinationPath:NSString = documentsPath.stringByAppendingString("/Untitled.mp3")

    if (!filemanager.fileExistsAtPath(destinationPath)) {
        var theError: NSError?
        let url = "https://www.box.com/shared/static/4k43665bm1d65lqid55v.mp3"
        let data = NSData(contentsOfFile: url, options: nil, error: nil)

        if (data != nil) {
            let writePath = destinationPath.stringByAppendingPathComponent(url)
            filemanager.copyItemAtPath(writePath,toPath:destinationPath, error: &theError)

        if (theError == nil) {
            println("The music files has been saved.")
        } else {
            println("Error")
        }

    }
    } else {
        println("The files already exist")
    }
}
