    Downloadtofile API...VB.Net alternative??[Resolved]

    I need to download this file:
    http://ut2003master.epicgames.com/se...t/full-all.txt

    its just a simple text file...
    with VB6 you can use the API Downloadtofile

    is there an alternative to this?

    How do I do it!??? thanks!

    FYI..I finally got it!!!
    in case anyone else is trying to do this...


    VB Code:
    1. Dim tmp As New WebClient

    2.         tmp.DownloadFile("http://www.url.com/file.txt", "c:\file.txt")

    thats it!...but..it seems the formatting is not quite there...but who cares...im just Splitting it anyway

    you could use windows sockets to download the exact file from the web server...

    i've posted the example of code how to do it a few times in this section of the forum... just search for people trying to download txt files....
