Hi,
Try this:

C#

byte [] respBuffer = new byte[1024];
try
{
    int bytesRead = responseStream.Read(respbuffer,0,respBuffer.Length);
    if(bytesRead > 0)
    {
        memStream.Write(respBuffer,0,bytesRead);
        bytesRead = responseStream.Read(respBuffer,0,respBuffer.Length);
    }
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
    //Handle exception
}
finally
{
    responseStream.Close();
    webResponse.Close();
}

Solution 2

C#

using (Stream responseStream = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
 {
byte[] buffer = new byte[0x1000];
int bytes;
while ((bytes = responseStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
 {
memoryStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytes);
}
}
