You can use the Get-BitTransfer cmdlet to show the progress of the download. If you want to stop the download job then use the Remove-BitTransfer cmdlet. You can stop a single job based on its JobId or all jobs with:.
When using Asynchronous it creates a temp file during the download process. But to actually use the file you will need to run the following cmdlet:. Instead, we can simply use the Copy-Item cmd to download a file from a server.
