✅ File.WriteAllBytesAsync fails to download to bin folder with no error

This is the code I have currently

RestRequest request = new($"/d/{id}", Method.Get);
byte[]? response = await client.DownloadDataAsync(request);
//location is Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "Queue");
await File.WriteAllBytesAsync(location, response!);
Console.WriteLine($"{id} - {location} finished downloading");

RestRequest request = new($"/d/{id}", Method.Get);
byte[]? response = await client.DownloadDataAsync(request);
//location is Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "Queue");
await File.WriteAllBytesAsync(location, response!);
Console.WriteLine($"{id} - {location} finished downloading");

I'm assuming it's becuase the bin folder where the files are being downloaded to is being used by the application anyway to bypass this besides changing download locations? edit: seems to fail for all folders not just bin

this is a memory snapshot seems like the files are stuck in memory and not being written down? idk how thats possible though

:thistbh: Better not download entire file to memory and just stream it directly into file Open a filestream to result file, open a stream of a web resource (with HttpClient.GetAsStreamAsync) and do source.CopyToAsync(dest)
