Wow these contributions are a huge deal for Mono. I've spent the last few months making sure C# code works well in Mono and there are a lot of things that are missing or buggy. WebClient for example on Mono is missing DNS refresh timeout which means your app will never update a dns cache entry. If the ip of a server changes, you're pretty much screwed in Mono.

This doesn't solve your issue with WebClient. This is only a compiler and not runtime.

WebClient is mentioned on here http://www.dotnetfoundation.org/. It's not just the compiler.

Yeah the photo keithwarren posted shows .NET WebClient is being contributed.
