Getting "An exception occurred during a WebClient request" while download the large file using webclient

Question

I'm getting above error while downloading the 4.5GB size text file using webclient in c#.

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.DownloadFile(DownloadFromURIpath, DownloadTOPath);

I split the file in half, and now it is downloading successfully.There appears to be a problem with importing files over 3 GB.
Is there any limit for webclient to download the file ? Anyone know what could be causing this?

Thanks, Kavin.S

Do you get a message with that exception? – Lasse V. Karlsen Dec 15 '16 at 07:18 — Lasse V. Karlsen, Dec 15 '16 at 07:18
