Download file with a Delay

Question

Hey guys I already know how to download a file from a URL and save it in C# WPF but it would only work if the file started downloading immediately (no waiting). Is it possible to download from a site which makes the user wait eg. 10 seconds before starting the download? Eg. Sourceforge? Thanks

if i understand it you want to download File from such URL from your C# WPF application and it fails? Please paste code of C# WPF application which you're using to download the file.

I meant that the site i want to download the file from makes you wait 10 seconds. If I use a site like that the download fails.

I feel it's good user expereince if you start immediately and user don't have to wait for 10s. if you want to replicate like sourceforge then you can add delay using # Thread.sleep(10) # Add timer control # If you're using .NET 4.5 you can use the new async/await framework to sleep without locking the thread private async void button1_Click ( object sender  EventArgs e ) { textBox1 . Text += 
Thread Sleeps! ; await Task . Delay ( 3000 ); textBox1 . Text += 
Thread awakens! ; }
