+			 * In this scenario, we don't want the entirety of the file to be buffered in a MemoryStream because
+			 * it could lead to "out of memory" exceptions if the file is large enough.
+			 * See https://github.com/Jericho/ZoomNet/pull/342 for a discussion on this topic.
+			 *
+			 * Forthermore, as of this writing, the FluentHttp library does not allow us to stream the content of responses

+			 return _client
 				.GetAsync(downloadUrl)
 				.WithCancellationToken(cancellationToken)
 				.AsStream();
+			 *
+			 * The downside of not using the FluentHttp library to dispatch the request is that we lose automatic retries,
