FTP and HTTP are different protocols.

You should be able to find some examples of downloading with HTTP on http://www.PlanetSourceCode.com. I wrote a simple download manager once, but I don't know where the code for it is at the moment, otherwise I'd let you see it.

It is not extremely complicated to do.

I uploaded the HTTP protocol document for v1.0 of the HTTP
protocol. You can find v1.1 if you search online.
