Or even have a look at WebClient. It is sufficient for what you are trying to do and relies on the default proxy configuration (which saves your from having your own proxy handling)

Testing whether a file exists on the internet is something completely different. You might do something with WebRequest, to see if the server is responding... static bool Exists(string url) { try { WebRequest wb = WebRequest.Create(url); using ( WebResponse rp = wb.GetResponse()) { HttpWebResponse hrp = rp as HttpWebResponse; if ( hrp != null) { return hrp.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK; } else { return false; } } } catch( WebException) { return false; } } I made a few assumptions here, but it should get you started, then again getting a file from the internet is really something else as getting it from your hd...
