Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

When running Get-RemoteChecksum in the au_beforeupdate() function on a large file, the process takes a long time. In benchmarks undertaken by external pers, it is suggested that using NET's webclient vs Invoke-WebRequest is significantly faster for downloading. For example, for a 150mb file it takes minutes with Invoke_WebRequest vs seconds with the webclient.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

I would suggest we replace the Invoke-WebRequest call with the .NET webclient call to significantly speed up downloads. This should speed up the checksumming process as part of au_beforeupdate(). This could also be added to other locations which download files if required.
