AxWebBrowser : Download file when already logged in

I am trying to "download" a file using the AxWebbrowser in VB.Net language (though, the answer could be in C#, I don't matter). The browser is already logged in, so I tried to catch the download, but for now the test is done with a PDF and I think it is opened directly in the browser. OK, lets put you in the context.

So, I tried to pass to the browser the URL directly and detect the download and catch the bytes ==> Not able to.

I tried to use a WebClient which I set the cookies, but it doesn't work. Though, using this and comparing with Chrome, I see the cookies aren't the same (in fact I can highly presume there is one important missing).

So, either why I don't get all the cookies or how could I get the bytes from these files?

I got it!!! Finally thought to search how to "save as" a file and then got it.

Using GetGlobalCookies got me the proper cookies and the file is downloaded correctly using Webclient. Oh yeah!
