使用System.Net.WebClient.DownloadFile:

string remoteUri = "http://www.contoso.com/library/homepage/images/";
string fileName = "ms-banner.gif", myStringWebResource = null;

// Create a new WebClient instance.
using (WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient())
{
    myStringWebResource = remoteUri + fileName;
    // Download the Web resource and save it into the current filesystem folder.
    myWebClient.DownloadFile(myStringWebResource, fileName);        
}

这是我的解决方案，效果很好:

public static void DownloadFile(string url, string pathToSaveFile)
        {
            ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
            // or: ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)3072;

            using (WebDownload client = new WebDownload())
            {
                client.Headers["User-Agent"] = "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36";
                client.DownloadFile(new Uri(url), pathToSaveFile);
            }
        }
    
    public class WebDownload : WebClient
        {
            protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
            {
                HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)base.GetWebRequest(address);
                if (request != null)
                {
                    request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;
                }
                return request;
            }
        }

包括这个命名空间

using System.Net;

异步下载，并在UI线程本身中放置一个ProgressBar来显示下载的状态

private void BtnDownload_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
    {
        wc.DownloadProgressChanged += wc_DownloadProgressChanged;
        wc.DownloadFileAsync (
            // Param1 = Link of file
            new System.Uri("http://www.sayka.com/downloads/front_view.jpg"),
            // Param2 = Path to save
            "D:\\Images\\front_view.jpg"
        );
    }
}
// Event to track the progress
void wc_DownloadProgressChanged(object sender, DownloadProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
    progressBar.Value = e.ProgressPercentage;
}

你也可以在WebClient类中使用DownloadFileAsync方法。它将具有指定URI的资源下载到本地文件。此外，此方法不会阻塞调用线程。

示例:

    webClient.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://www.example.com/file/test.jpg"), "test.jpg");

使用GetIsNetworkAvailable()检查网络连接，以避免在未连接到网络时创建空文件。

if (System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable())
{
    using (System.Net.WebClient client = new System.Net.WebClient())
    {                        
          client.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://www.examplesite.com/test.txt"),
          "D:\\test.txt");
    }                  
}

有很多答案，但这是我最近使用的。net 6或更高版本的解决方案。

using var httpClient = new HttpClient();

var tempPath = Path.GetTempFileName();

await using var s = await HttpClient.GetStreamAsync(pdfFilePath);

await using var fs = File.OpenWrite(tempPath);

await s.CopyToAsync(fs);
