You have to use web client for that purpose it will download it and you can write a file where you want.

 WebClient myClient = new WebClient();
        string myPageHTML = null;
        byte[] requestHTML; 
        // Gets the url of the page
        string currentPageUrl = Request.Url.ToString();

        UTF8Encoding utf8 = new UTF8Encoding();

        // by setting currentPageUrl to url it will fetch the source (html) 
        // of the url and put it in the myPageHTML variable. 

       // currentPageUrl = "url"; 

        requestHTML = myClient.DownloadData(currentPageUrl);

        myPageHTML = utf8.GetString(requestHTML); 

        System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@"C:\yoursite.html", myPageHTML);
