Not enough rep to leave a comment so:

@AZHAR, the file save location is the second parameter. In your example it is fileName, in NiL's example it is "uploads/myPath.doc"

If you use wc.DownloadFileAsync, make sure to include an AsyncCompletedEventHandler so you know when it's done.

I'm not sure about the correctness of what you did, relatively to your goal (I don't mean the code is incorrect, as it is syntactically correct otherwise it won't compile).

If you want to retrieve a file from a remote location and save it to your local machine, this is surely the worst way!!!!

If, instead, you want to download the file onto your server, then your problem is patience :)

I mean, the DownloadFile method is blocking and can take even hours if you are trying to download something a bluray ripped film or a Linux ISO, no matter how fast is your server.

You could think about using an asynchronous job in this case...

The code you wrote did download the file, I tested it and it surely download it

the usage of the DownloadFunction is as follows:

wc.DownloadFile("http://www.domaine.com/uploads/file.doc", "uploads/myPath.doc");

If you are trying to download a big file you can use :

wc.DownloadFileAsync

and it is the same
