C# - WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile not working (timeout) - ftp

Question

Good afternoon everyone.
I'm trying to download a few files from a FTP server and I don't know why this isn't working, because the same code worked before. Now when i run the service I get the following error:
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
I've tried doing other Methods like GetFileSize or even the DeleteFile that it's suppose to execute after the DownloadFile and they work, but this one isn't and i can't figure out why. Any ideas? My code is below, many thanks!
FtpWebRequest reqFTP;
reqFTP = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri(server + file));
reqFTP.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
reqFTP.KeepAlive = true;
reqFTP.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
reqFTP.UseBinary = true;
reqFTP.Proxy = null;
reqFTP.UsePassive = false;
reqFTP.Timeout = -1;
FtpWebResponse response2 = (FtpWebResponse)reqFTP.GetResponse();
Stream responseStream2 = response2.GetResponseStream();
FileStream writeStream = new FileStream(folder + file, FileMode.Create);
int Length = 2048;
Byte[] buffer = new Byte[Length];
int bytesRead = responseStream2.Read(buffer, 0, Length);
while (bytesRead > 0)
{
writeStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
bytesRead = responseStream2.Read(buffer, 0, Length);
}
writeStream.Close();
response2.Close();
try
{
string uri2 = server + file;
Uri serverUri2 = new Uri(uri);
if (serverUri2.Scheme != Uri.UriSchemeFtp)
{
return;
}
FtpWebRequest reqFTP2;
reqFTP2 = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri(server + file));
reqFTP2.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
reqFTP2.KeepAlive = false;
reqFTP2.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DeleteFile;
reqFTP2.UseBinary = true;
reqFTP2.Proxy = null;
reqFTP2.UsePassive = false;
FtpWebResponse response3 = (FtpWebResponse)reqFTP2.GetResponse();
Stream responseStream3 = response3.GetResponseStream();
response3.Close();
}
