downloading: WebClient.DownloadFile Method vs FileWebRequest

i beginning to work with C++ .Net switching from VB6.0. i want to convert a
web application i have that programmatically downloads files selected by a
user.

my question is; which method to use. i have found both
WebClient.DownloadFile and FileWebRequest, i don't understand the pro's and
con's of either. i plan to download all types of files from pdf, jpg, gif,
zip, txt, etc... does one method work better than another for this purpose?
