Hi,

I am trying to take some latency measurement of HTTP download times for a
number of zip files varying in size from 100K to 500M.  I wrote some code
shown below but it produces out of memory errors when the files get up to
about 200M.  I am not sure if the code I have produced is what I want because
I used a streamreader that requires an encoding type to be specified, as its
a binary file type I don't think I should need to worry about encoding only
bits and bytes.  Can you make any suggestions on what would be the best way
acheive this please.

'setup local file to write to
Dim fs As New FileStream(LocalFilePath, FileMode.CreateNew,
FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)

' Creates an HttpWebRequest for the specified URL.
Dim myHttpWebRequest As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create
(WebPageURL), HttpWebRequest)

' Sends the request and waits for a response.            
Dim myHttpWebResponse As HttpWebResponse = CType
(myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)

' Calls the method GetResponseStream to return the stream associated with
the response.
Dim receiveStream As Stream = myHttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream()

' Pipes the response stream to a higher level stream reader with the
required encoding format.
Dim readStream As New StreamReader(receiveStream, encode)

pfileWriter.Write(readStream.Read())

Thanks
