here is a nice post that explains to download files from a web server as well as from a remote web server: http://www.etechplanet.com/post/2009/02/24/Downloading-file-using-aspnet-and-C.aspx

  It's the same used technique as this article, but what if you want to download the file asynchronously then the webclient will be the best alternative with its downloadFileAsync Pleas take a look on this MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webclient.downloadfileasync.aspx

  Or you can simply make use of the System.Net.WebClient.DownloadFile Method (Uri, String);
