The syntax is pretty easy:

var client : WebClient := new WebClient();
client.DownloadFile(src, dst);

With src and dst being strings. This worked always fine for me until recently after I’ve installed a proxy. To have WebClient automatically use your proxy-settings (e.g. taken from the Internet Explorer) simply add the following line after instantiating WebClient:

client.Proxy := new WebProxy;

To learn more about automatic proxy detection read on here.
