Trying to download all files results in TimeOut exceptions

description

Trying to recursively scan all folders, and download all files result in TimeOut exceptions.
This is caused by HttpWebResponse objects not being closed.
 
I suggest you make the following changes:
  • Add "using()" whenever calling the method HttpWebClient.SendHttpWebRequest()
  • Inside method HttpWebClient.SendHttpWebRequest(), when you are making recursive calls, call the "Close()" method on the existing HttpWebResponse before overwriting it.

Thanks for your observation, I'll fix this ASAP.

Try this
skydrive.Timeout = 2147483647;

Increasing the Timeout won't help.
.Net Framework limits the number of open Request/Reponse each process has. If you open too many requests (and their respective Response), and don't close them, at some point the .Net Framework will stop opening new requests, and will just "wait" until you close some of the opened ones...
