Download by the byte.

Ok, I want to download a file from a specific location on the internet. Is there a way I can find out the size in bytes of the file and then download each specific byte? Or, is there a way where I can download the file and be able to check the progress of the download? Thanks. Also, when copying or deleting files on the hard drive, is there a way to check the progress? Thanks.

inet control.

Please, expound.

to retrieve something from the internet using VB, you need to use the INet control.

could use the winsock control or vb' s AsyncRead method as well.

overall, the AsyncRead, in my experience is the cleanest.

Ok thanks, I'll look into it.
