❔ Problem with downloading on hard drive

Whenever I try to use webclient.DownloadFileAsync("myurl", "the path on my hard disk"), it creates a 0 zero bytes file.

Download bytes, then use a filestream to write those bytes to a file

var uri = new Uri("myurl");
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.GetAsync(uri);
await using var fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.CreateNew);
await response.Content.CopyToAsync(fs);

var uri = new Uri("myurl");
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.GetAsync(uri);
await using var fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.CreateNew);
await response.Content.CopyToAsync(fs);

var uri = new Uri("myurl");
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.GetAsync(uri);
await using var fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.CreateNew);
await response.Content.CopyToAsync(fs);

var uri = new Uri("myurl");
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.GetAsync(uri);
await using var fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.CreateNew);
await response.Content.CopyToAsync(fs);

Doesn't even need the

Uri

Uri

Uri

Uri tbh

Was this issue resolved? If so, run

/close

/close

otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
