Downloaded files

[dekelc]

I need to know when the web browser is starting to download
a file and tell the web browser to download the file to
a my chosen folder.
can you help me?

[kurtsimons]

why not use the inet control

[dekelc]

Because I need that the function will
start when the user is downloading his files.
(when he starts downloading them)

[kurtsimons]

Could you monitor the temporary internet files directory and then copy them to a directory of your choice.

[dekelc]

What do you meen?
How do I do that?
I need that when the user starts to download an exe file,
it will run my function and download the file to my folder.

[kurtsimons]

i had an idea, but I don't know if exes are stored the same way. I don't know. I don't think I can help sorry

[dekelc]

Let me ask you this:
how do doenload managers like getright,gozilla and
download accelerator knows when a file is about to be
downloaded from the internet and then they download
the file themselves?

Sorry, Dont't know!

I would think that they monitor for certain packets on certain ports and when they detect certain conditions their functions are activated. Sorry for being so sketchy but i'm also not totaly sure on the subject. You can try locating some download meters that were made in vb from some of the popular source code sites out there.
