    URL -> Download API

    ok, so there is the URLDownloadtoFile API call. this downloads a file from the net to a file on ur HDD. what i want to know is: how can i get the size of the requested file i want to download?

    Tangential suggestion - if you want to display a progress bar or know if it will fit on your disk drive, try the DoFileDownload api.

    It does all of this stuff automagically.

    Code:
    Private Declare Function DoFileDownload Lib "shdocvw.dll" _
    (ByVal lpszFile As String) As Long
Sub Donwload(sDownload as string)
   sDownload = StrConv(Text1.Text, vbUnicode)
   Call DoFileDownload(sDownload)
End Sub
    Maybe not. But it does download the file as well.
