You need to actually await the read otherwise you're just constantly looping:

Change this line:

while ((bytesReceived = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)

to this:

while ((bytesReceived = await stream.ReadAsync(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)

You should also await the OpenRead :

using (Stream stream = await client.OpenReadTaskAsync(url))
