Webclient Timeout?

[Patrick Dugan]

I am using the webclient (system.net) to download a file. I haven't found a
"timeout" interval setting so I'm guessing there must be some other way to
limit it. Is there anyway to limit the amount of time spent attempting to
get the file? Any examples on the internet someplace?

System.Net.HttpWebRequest has a Timeout property.
