I don't actually understand what are your goals.

If you need to download file it's better to use WebRequest rather than NavigationService: 

        var request = WebRequest.Create("http://www.farmanager.com/files/Far20b1777.x86.20110108.msi");
        using (var stream = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
        {
            using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
            {
                var fileContent = reader.ReadToEnd();
            }
        }
