I’m trying to make a simple Minecraft Mod installer and whenever I DownloadString something that is a .jar and try to DownloadFile it, it says that its illegal path. Is there a way around it or does it just accept .txt .exe along that.
var Mod = wc.DownloadString("Link to download that is .jar");
wc.DownloadFile(Mod, @"C:\Users\" + Environment.UserName + @"\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\mods\Mod.jar");
That’s the code I’m currently using worked fine for me when I was using .exe and .txt files but doesn’t seem to work on .jar. Any work arounds?
>Solution :
The DownloadFile method documentation says
Downloads the resource with the specified URI to a local file. C#
public void DownloadFile (Uri address, string fileName);address:Uri
The URI specified as a String, from which to download data.
fileName:String
The name of the local file that is to receive the data.

But in your example looks like you’re first downloading the link as a string and then calling DownloadFile with that instead of the original Uri.
i.e. looks like you should be doing
wc.DownloadFile("Link to download that is .jar", Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), ".minecraft\mods\Mod.jar"));
