download files and showing progress

[Jakys]

I want to make a program that connects to the internet and downloads files, but none of the tutorials/demos are using a method were you're able to watch the progress (with a progressbar). Is there a way to do this?

If you are interested in asynchronously using the Wininet API, this will help you get started:

If you don't want to use the API, you could use the internet transfer control (or even the winsock control) to transfer files, but that would require that you become familiar with HTTP and FTP commands
