SharePoint 2010: Downloading File using Server Object Model

Well I must confess that I could not find any code snippet that could let us download a document using server object model. Everytime I searched for such a thing, I always bumped into Client object model. So here is the code that lets us do that, although not using a server object model rather simple web request.

public static Boolean DownLoadFile(string strURL, string strDownloadFilePath, string UserID, string Password)
        {
            HttpWebRequest request;
            HttpWebResponse response = null;

            try
            {
                request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(strURL);
                //request.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
                request.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(UserID, Password);
                request.Timeout = 10000;
                request.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = false;
                response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
                Stream s = response.GetResponseStream();

                //Write to disk
                if (File.Exists(strDownloadFilePath))
                {
                    File.Delete(strDownloadFilePath);
                }

                FileStream fs = new FileStream(strDownloadFilePath, FileMode.Create);
                byte[] read = new byte[256];

                int count = s.Read(read, 0, read.Length);
                while (count > 0)
                {
                    fs.Write(read, 0, count);
                    count = s.Read(read, 0, read.Length);
                }

                //Close everything
                fs.Close();
                s.Close();
                response.Close();

                return true;
            }

            catch (Exception)
            {              
                throw;

            }
        }
