The previous answers suggest changing the ReadWriteTimeout and the timeout. Here's the Webclient override function you need to do this.

        protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
        {
            _request = base.GetWebRequest(address);

            var httpRequest = _request as HttpWebRequest;
            httpRequest.ReadWriteTimeout = 600000;
            httpRequest.Timeout = 600000;
            httpRequest.ContinueTimeout = 600000;
            if (_request != null)
            {
                httpRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = AutoRedirect;
                httpRequest.CookieContainer = CookieContainer;
                httpRequest.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;

                Setup?.Invoke(httpRequest);
            }

            return _request;
        }
