     NSString *content = [[NSString alloc]  initWithBytes:[data bytes]
                                                      length:[data length] encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    NSLog(@"%@", content); // verifies data was downloaded correctly

    NSError* error;
    [data writeToFile:storePath options:NSDataWritingAtomic error:&error];

    if(error != nil)
        NSLog(@"write error %@", error);
}

NSLog(@"Write returned error: %@", [error localizedDescription]);

NSData writeToFile example.

-(void)banner:(NSString *)path{
   NSData * imageData = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: [NSURL URLWithString: path]];
   NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);         NSString *filePath = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"banner.png"];      
   NSError *writeError = nil;
   [imageData writeToFile:filePath options:NSDataWritingAtomic error:&writeError];

   if (writeError) {
      NSLog(@"Error writing file: %@", writeError);
   }
}
