AFAIK, This will not be possible at the WebClient level.
You will need to look at the network settings to control this - either on client or server.

Network setting?Do you mean to set in the computer system?

Solution 2

Using the WebClient, you don't. It'll download as fast as the server sending the file and your network connection can handle.

If you want to pace the download, you'll have to implement your own version of the WebClient class (using TCP sockets) so you can pace the download of each block of data yourself.
