This is happening because you are not closing the response after you make a request. Since the response is not closed the web server reaches its limit and hence serves no more requests. Simply add a res.Close for each iteration in the for loop. Edited code below. for(i=0;i<imageList.Count;i++) { saveimage: try { Console.WriteLine("Trying to save image:"+imageList[i].ToString()); j = imageList[i].ToString(); WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(j); WebResponse res =req.GetResponse(); Stream strm = res.GetResponseStream(); BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(strm); long len = res.ContentLength; Image img = Image.FromStream(strm); img.Save(GIFFolderPath+@"\"+NewFileName); } catch(Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); goto saveimage; }//try catch res.Close(); }//for
