That's the way HTTP protocol work. There is no "file" in HTTP, only documents. > Is there a way to catch this kind of error? Depends on the server. Normally the server returns a status code such as "404" which means document not found. You have access to this error code in the StatusCode property. Look also at the "ReasonPhrase" property. The problem is that some server (or server side script) do not return correct error code and then you can't differenciate programmatically between a good and a bad download. Only reading the returned document can tell you it is failed or not. Contribute to the SSL Effort.
