Question

Answer 1

No, it's attempting to save the file to C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\MyPrintManager.exe.

That's because C:\windows\system32\inetsrv is the working directory for your process, and you've just given a relative filename.

Specify an absolute filename which says exactly where you want the file to be stored, and it should be fine.

Answer 2

WebClient web = new WebClient();
string url = "http://.../FILENAME.jpg";
web.DownloadFile(new Uri(url), "C:/FILENAME.jpg");
