Question

I'm making a YouTube Downloader, I've finished everything [ The application is completed now ] but this annoys me ;

How to make something can pause this downloader

try
{
    wc = new WebClient();
    wc.DownloadProgressChanged += new DownloadProgressChangedEventHandler(wc_DownloadProgressChanged);
    wc.DownloadFileCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(wc_DownloadFileCompleted);
    CancelBtn.Enabled = true;
    wc.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri(link), dwnFile);
    ResultLabel.Visible = false;
}

I don't think you can directly. You might need to do it manually somehow. — AD.Net, Feb 26 '13 at 21:56
Are you looking for something like a restartable downloader, or do you just want to pause for a few seconds, keeping the connection open so you can un-pause and continue? — Jim Mischel, Feb 26 '13 at 22:37

You can't if you wish to continue using WebClient; otherwise you'll need to use a method that gives you more control over the streaming of bytes, such as a WebRequest (of which you can manage the response stream) or sockets.
