    Resolved [RESOLVED] Async Download

    I need to download a file of approximately 400KB from a HTTP server.
    The thing is that I need my application to carry on doing what it's doing while it is downloading the file. I do not need many options for the download, the only parameters I want will be the location of the file to be downloaded and where to save it.
    Can anyone suggest a simple way to do this? (I'm thinking of something like URLDownloadToFile or an Inet control except it needs to be Async)

    I believe you will find code for this in the codebank which relies on the winsock controller.
    What bug? That's not a bug. It's an undocumented feature!
