HttpClient.DownloadAsync

HttpClient.DownloadAsync is an extension of HttpClient that reliably downloads files of any size with minimal memory usage.

Features

• Smart chunking, If the server supports the Content-Range header use it to download files in chunks, if not supported fallback to downloading in one chunk.
• Retry chunk/file download.
• Read at your own speed, download as fast as possible. This is done by using producer/consumer pattern under the hood to decouple writes and reads.

Usage

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

client.DownloadAsync("url/to/some/file");
