试试这个:

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

WebClient已经过时了

如果你想下载到一个文件，通过使用ResponseHeadersRead避免第一次读取到内存，就像这样:

static public async Task HttpDownloadFileAsync(HttpClient httpClient, string url, string fileToWriteTo) {
  using HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.GetAsync(url, HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead);
  using Stream streamToReadFrom = await response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync(); 
  using Stream streamToWriteTo = File.Open(fileToWriteTo, FileMode.Create); 
  await streamToReadFrom.CopyToAsync(streamToWriteTo);
}

以上代码更多的是一个大纲，添加正确的错误/异常处理是不平凡的，进度报告也是不平凡的，因为是处置。

我提出了一组c# 9.0扩展类downadfileasync, GetToStringAsync和PostToStringAsync

namespace System.Net.Http {

      if (innerMsg is object && innerMsg!=msg) msg = $"{msg} [ {innerMsg} ]";
      return msg;
    }
  }
}

使用方法:

// download to file
var lastPercent = 0;
bool progressCallback(long bytesRecieved, int percent, float speedKbSec) {
  if (percent > lastPercent) {
    lastPercent = percent;
    Log($"Downloading... {percent}% {speedKbSec/1024.0:0.00}Mbps");
  }
  return true;
}

var (success, httpResponse) = await httpClient.DownloadFileAsync(
  new(myUrlString), 
  localFileName, 
  null, // CancellationTokenSource 
  progressCallback
);

if (success) {
  // file downloaded to localFile, httpResponse.ResponseMessageInfo contain 
  // extra information ie headers and status code

} else {
  Log(httpResponse.ToString()); // human friendly error information
  // if httpResponse.ResponseMessageInfo is object then server refused the request - 
  // examine httpResponse.ResponseMessageInfo.HttpStatusCode etc
  // else we had a Http exception - examine httpResponse.ExceptionInfo 
}


// Http get
var (responseAsString, httpResponse) = await httpClient.GetToStringAsync(url);
if (responseAsString is object) {
  // responseAsString contains the string response from the server

} else {
  // as for DownloadFileAsync
}


// http post
var postBuffer = new StringContent(jsonInString, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
var (responseAsString, httpResponse) = await httpClient.PostToStringAsync(url, postBuffer);

if (responseAsString is object) {
  // responseAsString contains the string response from the server

} else {
  Log(httpResponse.ToString()); // human friendly error informaiton
  // as for DownloadFileAsync
}

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;
            }
        }

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);

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;
}

WebRequest, WebClient和ServicePoint在。net 6(源代码- 2021年11月)中已经过时。

使用System.Net.Http.HttpClient类代替:

using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
    using (var s = client.GetStreamAsync("https://via.placeholder.com/150"))
    {
        using (var fs = new FileStream("localfile.jpg", FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
        {
            s.Result.CopyTo(fs);
        }
    }
}

相同代码的异步版本:

using var client = new HttpClient();
using var s = await client.GetStreamAsync("https://via.placeholder.com/150");
using var fs = new FileStream("localfile.jpg", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
await s.CopyToAsync(fs);
