❔ I'm trying to download a link in 4 chunks via HttpClient but it keeps breaking.

Link to my GitRepository https://github.com/Error1OH1/FileDownloader I've been trying to download in 4 chunks but I can't seem to get the file to download in 4 chunks properly it loops through but always ends up only being a quarter of the download, and this new updated code just breaks but downloads a 0 KB file.

I am okay with rewriting it for the sake of learning but could you explain why first

Oh I used that because I was having a hard time understanding how to use httpclient and was basing it off a friends

I was trying to create an HttpClient Library class so I could use it for future projects easier Is that what broke it?

Also, I am far from knowledgeable with async I barely understand how it's working in my use.

Unknown User•2y ago

Also couldn't I do it non asynchronous via .result and .wait();?

TLDR on async/await: * every .net API that is suffixed with Async (eg: .Read() and .ReadAsync()) => use the Async version * if the API name ends with Async => await it * if the API returns a Task => await it * if you have to await in a method: * that method must have the async keyword (you could even suffix your function name with Async, up to you) * if it was returning T (eg:string) => it should now return Task<T> (eg: Task<string>) * APIs to ban and associated fix:

var r = t.Result;                   /* ===> */ var r = await t;
t.Wait();                           /* ===> */ await t;
var r = t.GetAwaiter().GetResult(); /* ===> */ var r = await t;
Task.WaitAll(t1, t2);               /* ===> */ await Task.WhenAll(t1, t2);

var r = t.Result;                   /* ===> */ var r = await t;
t.Wait();                           /* ===> */ await t;
var r = t.GetAwaiter().GetResult(); /* ===> */ var r = await t;
Task.WaitAll(t1, t2);               /* ===> */ await Task.WhenAll(t1, t2);

I've been kind of using him as a roadmap on what I should do next and since I am kind of slow at learning he probably just trying to make it easier

I'm going to rewrite the code with what you've provided Dude if one word and plurals are all you are messing up on it's nothing to worry about

People on Discord don't necessarily talk to each other like they would in real life and put out more unnecessary flare to what they say, so it makes it more difficult. Even English users have difficulty understanding each other on online applications.

I've only been coding for 3 months so it was more of just an attempt

The goal is for downloading faster again I am still new and 4 was just the number I chose They are meant to download in parallel
