Download

How can i download a file just by using a URL like...

http://www.me.com/you.jpg

and what if it goes through a script like php or something, how can i download the file by the url???

use an internet transfer control, more exactly its .OpenURL method.

yeah but what i need to do is have my app act as the download manager for the download.

theres the...

Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As String, ByVal szFileName As String, ByVal dwReserved As Long, ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long

API, but i need it to work for files downloaded after processing from a server scripted page, like this URL for example which is to download a file...

http://download.com.com/3002-2099-10182779.html?tag=dir

Hope that better explains

this is what i found:

Sometime in the near future, Earth will be invaded by chickens from another galaxy who are bent on revenge against the human race for oppressing Earth chickens. Take the world's fate in your hands (or at least have an omelette) in this modern rendition of the '80s classic.

hope this helps.

do you need to design a page that would automatically trigger the download manager? or do i get it wrong again?
