    Downloading Files

    I did some searching and found there are various ways to download ...

    1-A Download.ctl Control that is added into the project, no ocx required.
    2-Download API - seems it hangs the program until its downloaded ..
    3-Winsock - thanks to some code posted by Wokawidget
    4-Inet Control

    Do you think the download.ctl would be the best, or go with Winsock?
    IVe been using the download.ctl with success, just looking for the best route, if there is such a thing .. Edit. I just got Winsock to download also.

    Lastly, Reading Files .. found multiple ways to do this also ..

    1-MSXML - used it and it works ...
    2-API using InternetOpen, InternetOpenUrl, & InternetReadFile
    3-Winsock component (drop on the form)
    4-Winsock API (WSOCK32) Class (vbip.com)
    5-Winsock API (WSOCK32) Module (allapi.net)
    6-Inet Control

    Such a list of options .. seems 1 and 2 hangs the form at times ...depending on the connection ... 4 is a ton of code ... but seems to be easier to track ... 3 and 6 need the control .. any ideas which is the best .. lets say its for

    1-A program that wont be installed - just runs
    2-A Program that installs ..


    Thanks
    Rory
