How can I download files from the internet using VB.Net?

For example I would like to download this file
http://www.testsite.com/test.avi

Also a user name and password are required to download the file.

All I want to do is tell the program the file and download it to a specific
location on my computer.

Thanks In Advance,
Lou

BTW: I am curious why you posted this question to the Windows Forms group.
The name of the VB.NET group is "microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb".
