Hi @Rakesh kumar ,

In the code you provided, does the download param get the download address? If this is the case, you can try WebClient.DownloadFile Method. But if this file is downloaded through browser, it will be affected by the browser settings and the file will be downloaded to the configured path by default. If I misunderstood something, can you describe your requirement more clearly? For example, provide more detailed code samples, or screenshots. Thank you for your understanding.
