    Ultimate Winsock Downloader (HTTP, FTP, Files > 4GB)

    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.
