I am developing a Winforms application that needs to download several video files and graphic files when the program starts up. What would be the best approach to handle this situation? I'm using SQL Server as my DBMS but I don't want to store the files in the DB. I want to store the
files on a remote file server and download from there. All suggestions are welcomed.

You can download files with WebClient.DownloadFile : http://www.csharp-examples.net/download-files/[^]

Your are probably better off putting your files in the setup process if they don't change.
