You might need to specify the network credential to bypass the authorization and authentication. I can give you an example of C# Code of the same. You check the same with VB.Net and try to resolve.

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.DownloadFileCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(webClient_DownloadFileCompleted);
webClient.DownloadProgressChanged += new DownloadProgressChangedEventHandler(webClient_DownloadProgressChanged);
webClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "pass");
webClient.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://example.com/example.jpg"), @"c:\myfile.txt");
