.Net web client fails downloading after 2 GB from S3

I'm using the web client object to download a file like so:

strm = Client.OpenRead(url);
strm.ReadTimeout = 30000;

bool bFirst = true;
while ((read = strm.Read(buf, 0, 2000)) > 0)
{
    fout.Write(buf, 0, read);
}

Where the url points to an S3 bucket. In some cases the download fails with a timeout at exactly 2 GB. Is this a network issue, or is there something I could change in the code?

Any ideas appreciated.

I believe WebClient will read the file into memory, and you're probably running into process size limitations.

What you'll want to use is WebClient.DownloadFile

I believe this will work better for you!
