Hi,
I have a problem downloading a file .
after i connect to the website and get the stream , i treing to write
the file on the HD.
public void SaveStreamToFile(string filePath, Stream stream)
        {
            // If not all data was provided return false;
            //if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(filePath) || stream == null)
            //    return false;
            // System.IO.Stream gzStream = stream; //= new
System.IO.Stream()//(stream,
System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Decompress);
            FileStream fs = null;
            try
            {
                byte[] inBuffer = new byte[10000];
                int bytesRead = 0;
                fs = File.Open(filePath, FileMode.Create,
FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read);
                while ((bytesRead = stream.Read(inBuffer, 0,
inBuffer.Length)) > 0)
                {
                    fs.Write(inBuffer, 0, bytesRead);
                }
                fs.Flush();
                // return true;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
                // ExceptionPolicy.HandleException(ex, "Global
Policy");
                //return false;
            }
            finally
            {
                fs.Close();
            }
        }
webRequest1.KeepAlive = true;
            webRequest1.CookieContainer = cookies;
            webRequest1.Accept =
"text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5";
            webRequest1.Headers.Set("Accept-Language",
"en-us,en;q=0.5");
            webRequest1.Headers.Set("Accept-Encoding", "gzip,deflate");
            webRequest1.Headers.Set("Accept-Charset",
"ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7");
            webRequest1.Headers.Set("Keep-Alive", "300");
            WebResponse myResponse1 = webRequest1.GetResponse();
            Stream ReceiveStream1 = myResponse1.GetResponseStream();
            SaveStreamToFile(@"C:\file.csv", ReceiveStream1);

the problem is that if i want to download a file (as big as 3Mb) it
takes me 40min to do it .
(my internet connection is fast)

please suggest me , how to solve this problem .
Thanks , Rony
