1. Try this library: Chilkat Rar / UnRar for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET
2. Use the WebClient instead (System.Net namespace). It can be used both synchronous in a thread or asynchronous with event notication.

Have you read the documentation for WebClient class and the code examples there?

I was simply referring to the help system Visual Studio and documentation for the .Net library. It is also avalable online at MSDN Library, but you make things much easier for yourself by installing it locally IMO. Without it you're pretty much helpless
