Okay, here's the final answer. It uses a memorystream as a way to buffer the data from the reaponsestream.

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        byte[] lnBuffer;
        byte[] lnFile;

        HttpWebRequest lxRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.productimageswebsite.com/images/stock_jpgs/34891.jpg");
        using (HttpWebResponse lxResponse = (HttpWebResponse)lxRequest.GetResponse())
        {
            using (BinaryReader lxBR = new BinaryReader(lxResponse.GetResponseStream()))
            {
                using (MemoryStream lxMS = new MemoryStream())
                {
                    lnBuffer = lxBR.ReadBytes(1024);
                    while (lnBuffer.Length > 0)
                    {
                        lxMS.Write(lnBuffer, 0, lnBuffer.Length);
                        lnBuffer = lxBR.ReadBytes(1024);
                    }
                    lnFile = new byte[(int)lxMS.Length];
                    lxMS.Position = 0;
                    lxMS.Read(lnFile, 0, lnFile.Length);
                }
            }
        }

        using (System.IO.FileStream lxFS = new FileStream("34891.jpg", FileMode.Create))
        {
            lxFS.Write(lnFile, 0, lnFile.Length);
        }
        MessageBox.Show("done");
    }
