I am simply using WebClient.DownloadString() and it is outrageously slow. Maxing out at 40kbs I have tried setting the WebClient.Proxy to null which didn't work and i am not anywhere near maxing my internet speed. What am I doing wrong?

Use webClient.Proxy=GlobalProxySelection.GetEmptyWebProxy();

Beside the working answer, It has an deprecated code, Here is the working updated code which is working with full speed for me:

client.Proxy = WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy;

Hope it helps someone who doesn't want to use obsolete code!
