What problem was encountered?

Hi o/,
I am trying to download all blobs in a container with DownloadDirectoryAsync.
The only option I see is to download it in a destination file.
How can I write the response in a Stream instead ?

Example :

Have you found a mitigation/solution?

I've tried listing blobs and downloading them into a stream. (I have over 5000 small blobs)
The issue with that approach is a low overall download speed due to the latency of azure storage.
For each blob I get ~50 milliseconds of latency and ~5 milliseconds of download time.
So the service is only downloading a blob ~9% of the time.
This results in a ~1000 Kb/sec download speed for the directory.

Thanks (:

I also encountered this issue recently. I wasn't able to achieve the desired result. Still waiting for a viable solution...
