    Download by the byte.

    Ok, I want to download a file from a specific location on the internet. Is there a way I can find out the size in bytes of the file and then download each specific byte? Or, is there a way where I can download the file and be able to check the progress of the download? Thanks. Also, when copying or deleting files on the hard drive, is there a way to check the progress? Thanks.

    to retrieve something from the internet using VB, you need to use the INet control.

    could use the winsock control or vb' s AsyncRead method as well.

    overall, the AsyncRead, in my experience is the cleanest.
