it's most likely a proxy issue. try ignoring Internet Explorer proxy settings:

WebClient web = new WebClient();
web.Proxy = null;
var byt = web.DownloadData(path)

To prevent application hanging, it is better to use asynchronous version of DownloadData - DownloadDataAsync. Example usage can be seen at this SO question.

Simply - you should create a event handler for DownloadDataCompleted event and run DownloadDataAsync. There is no need to use async or await modifiers.
