An authoritative source claims out-of-the-box asynchronous "WebClient's
implementation is flawed" in .Net 3.0.

Was it fixed in .Net 3.5 or .Net 3.5 SP1?

Thank you.

Without having any information about what the flaw was, how could we
tell? Can you give us more information about this "authoritative
source"?

Good find. Only the OP can say for sure if that's the reference they're
talking about, but it seems like a likely candidate. :)

Indeed, that's what it is.

It's too bad heavyweights Jon Skeet and Peter Duniho are unable to pronounce
on a possible fix authoritatively. :-) I shall have to implement a
work-around.

Well now that we know what you're talking about, it's somewhat easier
to address your original question. In particular, I'll ping off a mail
to Joe Albahari to see if he's aware of any workarounds or
improvements. (Assuming I remember... kinda busy right now.)
