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");

试试这个:

private void downloadFile(string url)
{
     string file = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(url);
     WebClient cln = new WebClient();
     cln.DownloadFile(url, file);
}

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");
    }                  
}

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            DownloadFileAsync().GetAwaiter();
 
            Console.WriteLine("File was downloaded");
            Console.Read();
        }
 
        private static async Task DownloadFileAsync()
        {
            WebClient client = new WebClient();
            await client.DownloadFileTaskAsync(new Uri("http://somesite.com/myfile.txt"), "mytxtFile.txt");
        }
