How to download files from OneDrive

Question

I am looking to download my files in public folder from One Drive, but it doesn't download the files. Here is the scenario:

In public folder I have another folder with multiple files in it and is accessible widely. for test purpose I have shared all the files in public folder (I don't if it's proper way of sharing it).

The following links are provided for me to download the file:

1. From shared folder link https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=DBBC281099F4FE69!646&authkey=!AGRCGuw8Y2_p9mA&ithint=folder%2c.mp3
2. From public folder link https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=DBBC281099F4FE69%21646
3. Direct link http://1drv.ms/1z9XlW6 -

I am using BackgroundTransferRequest to download the file using below code:

string filePathToDownload = string.Empty, fileName = "111.mp3";
filePathToDownload = "http://1drv.ms/1z9XlW6";

Uri transferUri = new Uri(Uri.EscapeUriString(filePathToDownload), UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
BackgroundTransferRequest transferRequest = new BackgroundTransferRequest(transferUri);
transferRequest.Method = "GET";
transferRequest.TransferPreferences = TransferPreferences.AllowCellularAndBattery;

Uri downloadUri = new Uri(DataSource.TEMPDOWNLOADLOCATION + fileName, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
transferRequest.DownloadLocation = downloadUri;
transferRequest.Tag = fileName;

The file is 300Kb, but this only downloads 6 Kb.

How can I directly download the file from the links above (any of them)?

thanks!

If you replace the word redir with download in the url you get the raw file instead of the webpage i.e.
