There is a Nightmare download plugin. You can download the file just with this code below:

var Nightmare = require('nightmare');
require('nightmare-download-manager')(Nightmare);
var nightmare = Nightmare();
nightmare.on('download', function(state, downloadItem){
  if(state == 'started'){
    nightmare.emit('download', '/some/path/file.zip', downloadItem);
  }
});

nightmare
  .downloadManager()
  .goto('https://github.com/segmentio/nightmare')
  .click('a[href="/segmentio/nightmare/archive/master.zip"]')
  .waitDownloadsComplete()
  .then(() => {
    console.log('done');
  });
