"In hyperlink they have written javascript to make POST method" looks like some ajax call. Post the hyperlink mark up and the associated javascript. So it is better for you to get answers

Using System.Net.Webclient, you can easily download the file on the Web url, make sure that the file path is relative to the web url e.g. If the example.jpg is hosted in the root of www.example.com then use like,

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.DownloadFile("http://www.example.com/example.jpg", @"C:\example.jpg");

You need to pass the local physical path to avoid open/save file dialog.
