Answer 1

Try this:

using FileInformation and get the MemoryStream

string fileurl = (string)liitem["FileRef"];
FileInformation ffl = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.OpenBinaryDirect(clientContext, fileurl);
byte[] bytesarr = ReadFully(ffl.Stream);
MemoryStream mnm = new MemoryStream(bytesarr);

ReadFully function which converts Stream to Bytes array

 public byte[] ReadFully(Stream input)
    {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[16 * 1024];
        using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            int read;
            while ((read = input.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
            {
                ms.Write(buffer, 0, read);
            }
            return ms.ToArray();
        }
    }

Export straight to output file ... I think this is the easiest and simplest way of doing it.

FileInformation fInfo = File.OpenBinaryDirect(currentSiteContext, ServerRelativeURL);
System.IO.FileStream outPutFile = System.IO.File.OpenWrite(string.Concat(OutputPath, "\\", DocumentName));
fInfo.Stream.CopyTo(outPutFile);
fInfo.Stream.Close();
outPutFile.Close();
