在.NET Core MVC中，你有时可以简单地这样做:

public async Task<ActionResult> DownloadUrl(string url) {
    return Redirect(url);
}

这可能假设您正在尝试下载的MIME类型被浏览器设置为可下载(例如.mp4)，因此它不会尝试重定向到网页。

试试这个:

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

在将状态打印到控制台时下载文件的完整类。

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Threading;

class FileDownloader
{
    private readonly string _url;
    private readonly string _fullPathWhereToSave;
    private bool _result = false;
    private readonly SemaphoreSlim _semaphore = new SemaphoreSlim(0);

    public FileDownloader(string url, string fullPathWhereToSave)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(url)) throw new ArgumentNullException("url");
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fullPathWhereToSave)) throw new ArgumentNullException("fullPathWhereToSave");

        this._url = url;
        this._fullPathWhereToSave = fullPathWhereToSave;
    }

    public bool StartDownload(int timeout)
    {
        try
        {
            System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(_fullPathWhereToSave));

            if (File.Exists(_fullPathWhereToSave))
            {
                File.Delete(_fullPathWhereToSave);
            }
            using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
            {
                var ur = new Uri(_url);
                // client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
                client.DownloadProgressChanged += WebClientDownloadProgressChanged;
                client.DownloadFileCompleted += WebClientDownloadCompleted;
                Console.WriteLine(@"Downloading file:");
                client.DownloadFileAsync(ur, _fullPathWhereToSave);
                _semaphore.Wait(timeout);
                return _result && File.Exists(_fullPathWhereToSave);
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Was not able to download file!");
            Console.Write(e);
            return false;
        }
        finally
        {
            this._semaphore.Dispose();
        }
    }

    private void WebClientDownloadProgressChanged(object sender, DownloadProgressChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        Console.Write("\r     -->    {0}%.", e.ProgressPercentage);
    }

    private void WebClientDownloadCompleted(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs args)
    {
        _result = !args.Cancelled;
        if (!_result)
        {
            Console.Write(args.Error.ToString());
        }
        Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine + "Download finished!");
        _semaphore.Release();
    }

    public static bool DownloadFile(string url, string fullPathWhereToSave, int timeoutInMilliSec)
    {
        return new FileDownloader(url, fullPathWhereToSave).StartDownload(timeoutInMilliSec);
    }
}

用法:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var success = FileDownloader.DownloadFile(fileUrl, fullPathWhereToSave, timeoutInMilliSec);
    Console.WriteLine("Done  - success: " + success);
    Console.ReadLine();
}

您可能需要在文件下载期间了解状态并更新ProgressBar，或者在发出请求之前使用凭据。

下面是一个包含这些选项的示例。Lambda符号和字符串插值已被使用:

using System.Net;
// ...

using (WebClient client = new WebClient()) {
    Uri ur = new Uri("http://remotehost.do/images/img.jpg");

    //client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
    String credentials = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Username" + ":" + "MyNewPassword"));
    client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Authorization] = $"Basic {credentials}";

    client.DownloadProgressChanged += (o, e) =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Download status: {e.ProgressPercentage}%.");

        // updating the UI
        Dispatcher.Invoke(() => {
            progressBar.Value = e.ProgressPercentage;
        });
    };

    client.DownloadDataCompleted += (o, e) => 
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Download finished!");
    };

    client.DownloadFileAsync(ur, @"C:\path\newImage.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");
    }                  
}

如果你需要设置头文件和cookie来下载文件，你需要做一些稍微不同的事情。这里有一个例子……

// Pass in the HTTPGET URL, Full Path w/Filename, and a populated Cookie Container (optional)
private async Task DownloadFileRequiringHeadersAndCookies(string getUrl, string fullPath, CookieContainer cookieContainer, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    cookieContainer ??= new CookieContainer();  // TODO: FILL ME AND PASS ME IN

    using (var handler = new HttpClientHandler()
    {
        UseCookies = true,
        CookieContainer = cookieContainer, // This will, both, use the cookies passed in, and update/create cookies from the response
        ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback = (message, cert, chain, errors) => true, // use only if it gets angry about the SSL endpoints
        AllowAutoRedirect = true,
    })
    {
        using (var client = new HttpClient(handler))
        {
            SetHeaders(client);

            using (var response = await client.GetAsync(getUrl, cancellationToken))
            {
                if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                {
                    var bytes = await response.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync(cancellationToken);
                    await File.WriteAllBytesAsync(fullPath, bytes, cancellationToken); // This overwrites the file
                }
                else
                {
                    // TODO: HANDLE ME
                    throw new FileNotFoundException();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

并且，要添加你需要的header…

private void SetHeaders(HttpClient client)
{
    // TODO: SET ME
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Connection.Add("keep-alive");
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) ...");
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9, ...");
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.AcceptEncoding.Add(new StringWithQualityHeaderValue("gzip"));
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.AcceptEncoding.Add(new StringWithQualityHeaderValue("deflate"));
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.AcceptLanguage.Add(new StringWithQualityHeaderValue("en-US"));
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.AcceptLanguage.Add(new StringWithQualityHeaderValue("en", .9));
    ...
}

旁白:你可以通过以下方式填充cookie容器:

循环遍历前一个响应的cookie。 这个响应可以来自HttpAgilityPack，或者WebClient，或者Puppeteer(有很多选项) 手动输入(来自配置值或硬编码值)。
