i have a audio program that will play some mp3 files from a folder. but the audio files together take up about 1 gb. it is possible to let my program download the files from the internet after it is installed on a computer. to a specific folder..?
View 3 RepliesOkay, I will be passed in an internet address that resolves to a file of some type (.xml, .zip, .mp3, whatever). From inside my VB .NET 2005 program, I need to transfer the file down to the local machine... preferably with events so I can update the screen to show download progress. I also need a way to detect if the file specified by the user actually exists, and retrieve it's file size and compute an estimated download time.

View 3 RepliesI need to download files from internet without using FTP, here's my idea:To check version of the program and also download updates.So firstly, when the user enters the splash screen there is a timer which will check updates (downloadTimer) so then downloadTimer starts to download this txt file http://localhost/version.txt and then when its downloaded (and replaced the old one that was on the computer already) and then after that, read the file. If the version.txt contains version 1.0 then pass the check and splash screen closes, main form opens, else then msgbox ("Please Wait!" & vbcrlf & "Downloading updates") and then download updates with the same way from downloading version.txtOh! and also when the file is downloaded (version.txt) save it to "c:programMyApplicationversion" downloading the file without using FTP (if there isn't any other way i could use FTP).File reading could be made with an IO.FileStream thingy.So how do i do the download part?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple file downloader (with GUI). I'm pretty new to Vb.net and I didn't find any usefull information about this in the books I own. All tutorials in the wild are making me more frustrated, since the snippets I use, in most cases, are different classes.What should I use? HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse or FileWebRequest/FileWebResponse?How do I save the ResponseStream to a file ?Is it possible to use ResponseStream to define the kind of File (FileInfo) Class to get basic file information (size, extension, etc) is it generally neccessary, if GetResponse().headers gives you most of this info ?
My code, which sucks, because I do not know how to realize the saving....

I am writing a Windows Form program to automatically download and store generated PDF reports from a web site using the WebBrowser Control. The web site uses Ajax to link an icon back to the source aspx file which then returns a PDF file.
The problem I have is that the WebBrowser control brings up the File Save As dialog box when the PDF file is returned and I can find no way of handling this to cature and save the returned file. I have found other examples of how to manage this using the Navagating event to validate the extension of the file that is being accessed (e.g. [URL] and, if not an HTM, file then use the HTTP Web control to directly download the file. Unfortunately this will not work as the call references a .aspx page.

i test it with downloading some files from internet using mozilla firefox the values is so close to each other but is that the right way to measure the speed ???
