Stream Reuse in C#

Question

I\'ve been playing around with what I thought was a simple idea. I want to be able to read in a file from somewhere (website, filesystem, ftp), perform some operations on it

Answer 1

Unless you're reading in streams bigger than your hard drive, I don't think you'll run out of memory:
