I'm trying to download a simple text file from a web server. It's easily accessible from the web browser and I can download it from the web browser. However, whenever I use a WebClient to download the file, I get a 403 Access Forbidden Error! I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. I haven't come across this kind of error in programming before and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to get around it.

I have a class that is a downloader (I didnt make it). You create an instance of it like so:
Dim _Down As New WebFileDownloader_Down.DownloadFileWithProgress(URL, Location)URL and Location are replaced by strings. This all works fine. But when I try to download multiple files, it doesn't work, I just add this bit for another file to be downloaded:

I'm trying to use the thread pool to download more than one string at a time. But most of the tutorial on threading is in C# or C++ so my knowledge on thread pool is limited.
Here's what I got so far.

I keep getting an error "Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Listbox1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on." And it still seems to be downloading it one by one to me.
Is there any way to download multiple files at the same time from a remote server? How I am doing it currently is I get a list of files from the target folder on the server then I loop through that list & download each file 1 at a time. For 100 small files it takes about 45 seconds. I'm guessing that the bulk of the time it takes is logging in to the server for each file to download, so 100 files means it has to login, download & logoff 100 times. Is it possible to login just once, download the 100 files then logout?

View 1 RepliesWe recently started playing with a vb.net 2008 WebClient on a Windows 7/64 workstation to download files from a web site to the local machine.It works except that we cannot detect if the URL is invalid. It doesn't throw an error. If we use Async it does trigger the Download Complete event but there was no file since the URL was incorrect.Is there a way to detect an incorrect URL?I also noticed that the events does not give you either the URL or the file?

View 2 RepliesI've been trying for a while to use a method I've found on the net to login to a webpage then download zip files off the page.Here is what I am doing:
Code:
strURL = "https://www.someurl.com/"
Client = New WebClient()
[code].....
Dim wc As New System.Net.WebClientGamerTag.Replace(" ", "+")wc.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(Email, Password, "http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?GamerTag=" & GamerTag)Dim fx As New System.IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead("http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?GamerTag=Dark Slipstream" & GamerTag))Dim str As String = fx.ReadToEndfx.Close()
The above code will open a webclient, set the credentials (possible error?), create a stream of the entire page, and then load it into a string (str).I then scan through and look for what is needed (Gamerscore, Motto, Bio, etc)-in this case.This doesn't work however, it doesn't sign in.
I have a weird bug with webclient. I made an app a while ago which uses webclient to download a small thumbnail image.. and I rememeber when I first made it, the first time webclient was used to download the image it always took 15 sec+ to download it, but after the first it always downloaded quickly (in like 1 sec) .. but then the problem went away for me and it always downloaded fine.but now someone else who uses my app is having the slow image download problem apparently around 50% of the time it downloads the thumbnail images. so does anyone know what might be causing this? As I said, I don't have the problem any more on my comp - but I don't know why :s

I'm trying to use a java servlet in a 3rd party tool's web interface (CA service desk) to invoke it's download file functionality using a webclient in vb.net. The trouble is the text stream from response is markup and not the acutual text file stream.
It's like the page is redirecting to another page which actually presents the file for downloading. I have no idea what the redirected page URL is.
Is there a way I can process this redirected page in order to get at the download using a system.net.webclient?
I'm trying to code a program that can download multiple files at once (on different threads of course).I have created a custom listview component that will allow me to add a progressbar directly to it.What my real question is, how can i take a url given by the user from an input box and create a new webclient to handle the download asynchronously and also report the progress without disturbing all of the other downloads in progress?
