what is the best way to do this

[egiggey]

I have a number of urls I need to download (from the internet)and save to this directory (c:\newfiles\)
I need advice in doing this what would be least demanding on the system?

Using either the Webbrowser or Inet control should do fine. Just remember, The internet is not very taxing to anycomputer (well a 486 is kinda crappy for it). I find it funny when people buy an 800 mhz machine and I ask what they will use it for.."surf the net"...

anyway... I am partial to the Webbrowser because you can see if things are progressing....

use this...

Webbrowser1.Navigate2 "http://www.URL.com",4

Do until Webbrowser1.Reaadystate = READYSTATE_COMPLETE
DoEvents
Loop



Do you need to save the whole thing? pics and all?

That is better ! One damn ediot told me that he bought
a Pentium III machine just for Running his collection of screen savers.

Geoff I'm going to try any way thats suggested to find the most efficient
1 question how do I pass the web browser control a variable for the url

[Static]

sURL = "http://www.vb-world.net"

Webbrowser1.Navigate2 sURL,4

note: the ,4 at the end is a command to tell it not to look at the cache when navigating to the site. it makes sure a full fresh load occurs.

if you dont care about that then just use:

Webbrowser1.Navigate sURL
