System.Net.WebClient to download .exes from a web server using IP

I'm having a problem using the System.Net.WebClient to download .exes from a web server. I'm testing everything on localhost, and the same code works fine with all other types of file. I even tried renaming the .exe extension of the file in question to .exe2, and that worked! Is there a security setting that doesn't let me download executables (the only error message I get is a timeout)? If so, is there a way to override it... I'm making a tool to update my software product over the Internet, and being able to download .exes is essential

Any suggestions, please?
