Downloading native format source rasters

public static void DownloadRasters(IImageServer imageServer)
{
    //Cast.
    IImageServer3 imageServer3=(IImageServer3)imageServer;

    //Create a fidset that contains the OBJECTID of the target rasters.
    IFIDSet fidSet=new FIDSetClass();
    fidSet.Add(1);
    fidSet.Add(2);

    //Define the Web client.
    System.Net.WebClient webClient=new System.Net.WebClient();

    //Download the source rasters.
    IImageServerDownloadResults isDownloadResults=imageServer3.Download(fidSet,
        null, null);
    IImageServerDownloadResult isDownloadResult;
    string url, fileName;
    for (int i=0; i < isDownloadResults.Count; i++)
    {
        isDownloadResult=isDownloadResults.get_Element(i);
        url=imageServer3.GetFile(isDownloadResult);
        fileName="c:\\temp\\" + url.Substring(url.LastIndexOf("/") + 1);

Clipping and downloading source rasters to TIFF
