Download from what to what ? Your downloader is a web-page in a browser, or browser control ? a running C# application (Windows Forms ? Wpf ? SilverLight ? ASP.NET ?). And, you are downloading from the Web ? or a local, or remote, Network ? What have you done so far ? Have you researched the several resources on downloading here on CodeProject ?

It is simple app say WPF application and want to download from web or remote network.I have done research on http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/21053/MyDownloader-A-Multi-thread-C-Segmented-Download-M. I want to know if there are other more effective ways being available besides using GetResponse() from FtpWebRequest/HttpWebRequest and mutithreaded segments download.

What is "remote network"? All which matters is URI and the protocol.
