Need to download files from a web server? Or FTP server? Want to be able to download files greater than 4GB in size? Look no further.
Winsock Downloader Control v1.0.0 (BETA)
I have been working on this the past few days. And it seems to be working fine now. Realize that, it is a BETA version, so if you have any problems let me know and I'll fix them.
I have only tested it on a few different web servers and FTP servers.
Some features:
Download via HTTP or FTP (Passive mode)
Download files greater than 4GB in size
Support for HTTP redirects
MaxRedirects property to prevent infinite redirect loops
UserAgent property so you can set your own HTTP UserAgent
Download multiple files simultaneously by using an array of these controls
Calculates transfer speed (bytes per second) for you
So just add this control to your form and there's not much else you need to do. I included a small sample project with it.
Please let me know what you think and report any bugs.
