//Get the folder
SPFolder folder = web.Folders["Lists"].SubFolders[strListName].SubFolders["Attachments"].SubFolders[item.ID.ToString()];
foreach(SPFile file in folder.Files)

byte[] binFile = file.OpenBinary();
System.IO.FileStream fstream = System.IO.File.Create("c:\\MyDownloadFolder\\" + file.Name);
