downloading files

What you want to do (with the downloading/progress bar) is actually very simple . . . I recomend checking out the VB World tutorial on making your own web browser found here . . . That will let you download files and stuff from the net. A few pointers, if I may:

[list=1][*]If you don't want a dialog box to appear, set "Silent" (or something like that . . .) to "True". This disabled the dialog boxes (or so I've been told . . .)[*]As far as I know, you can only use the standard progress bar that comes with VB; no "souped up" or customized ones.[*]Make sure you point the browser to a file, and not a website. (I.E. instead of http://www.mysite.com/downloads/downloads.html make sure it is something like http://www.mysite.com/downloads/myprogram.exe[/list=1]

Correct me if I'm wrong!

i don't get my app to be "silent"

it always shows a "save to" box
maybe i got to set a flag, or set a path where to store the file?

can somebody help me?
