Good code. Just a suggestion: In a later version why don't you include support for all types of files, for the beginners out there. And as a cool feature you could add a puase/resume feature which would make it the best downloader on PSC. Good Job, Good Luck (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
this is sweet!! if anyone has updated this to use a pause and resume button please e-mail me! cb5sdvb@hotmail.com i give you excellent (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Ok I will add Pause and resume in the next version. I will try to implement them as soon as I figure out how to do it correctly. I did have a resume feature but I couldnt implement it the correct way for the file to be valid afterwards. If you have any help please email me thanks. Glad you like my code. Please do note that all the code included with this zip file is my code. Excluding various parts of PRO.BAS but I did create pro.bas also and all the functions in the zip. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I get 3 msgboxes when i start to download it says False then 0 then again 0 bytes. how do i get rid of those boxes (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Also another thing i wanted to know is there anyway that u can disable the download button when the user is downloading the file. I RATE THIS THING EXCELLENT !! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
One more suggestion when it is finished downloading it should tell the user it is complete. and if possbile try and run the file from where it was downloaded. that would be really cool (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
It doesn't works with dynamic pages (asp, php, etc...). When i try to download ASP page, the result is a page with ASP extension, but the content isn't ASP, but simple HTML (the server simulate a request connection, and send the HTML code) !!! But it's a good jod. Thanks (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Yes. ASP is a scripting code used on the server side. A security feature ASP offers is that the server will never return the ASP script itself only the results of the ASP script(the html) Internet Explorer asks for the script. The server says ok he wants the script but not giving to him. It runs the script the script creates a dynamic html document and sends that instead. If you notice on planet source code all the content is dynamic and not static. It changes very often becuase the html is changed everytime you access the script. Hope that helps you out =]

To do the resume try this: Range: bytes=XX-YY XX and YY are both numbers, beware of both spacing and letter case, some servers are particular fussy. YY is optional, if nothing then the download will start at (XX+1) byte and will stop at the end of the download You'll need to do some checking because the server MUST send you a : HTTP/1.1 206 Partial content as I understand it if it doesn't accept the resume a server will just send the 200 + OK and will send the file starting a 0. Also as your code stands now it won't work right because ir overwrites what you already have gotten. Great code so far keep the good work.

One more time there is a space between the colon - : and the word bytes. There are no other spaces in the line. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
its me again, if anyone thinks they can help me out, i am trying to make this have a resume file after you close the program, i thought i had it but now it won't download, if anyone thinks they can help, e-mail me (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
LivingINvb I tested the resume for doing this and it worked fine..Now the one thing that makes this work is that you have to select the half downloaded file that you need to resume or it wont work(when you select the file) it will then ask if you wish to Overwrite, Resume, Cancel..Select resume and it should work fine.. Ive tested this many times and its worked for me each time. If i misunderstood what you are trying to do please try to explain it better. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I really liked this program. You should make it so that when you launch it from the quicklaunch taskbar that it copys the address of the program that I want to download from the clip board. That way i could right click on a link, copy the location of the file to the clipboard, and clik on your program's icon on the quicklaunch taskbar. also, how about a way to set the download directory so we don't have to chose every time. And lastly, how about FTP support so I can uninstall Gozilla and use your program for all my downloads with out worrying about being spyed on. Great Program, I'll keep using it. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Yeah I was thinking about adding FTP support but thats a TON of new code I would have to add and would sorta disqualify newbies out of this code but I think im going to keep this version and zip it up and call it something like pastversion.zip and then the new version will be put in zip like regular...ummm keep checking for updates! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Hey, with your resume feature you were having trouble with... Instead of resuming right on the spot you left off, try a rollback of about 4K... Meaning, start 4K behind where u left off, to make sure u get it all :) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Ok I can do that.. It works now that was at the beginning I didnt have resume at all and someone asked for it and I didnt quit know how to do it. But I will test some things with rolling it back on the upgraded version.. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Sorry i forgot to vote. took care of it. FTP support would be a good way to demonstrate how to do it. Also how about keeping track of the last 5 or 10 files that were downloaded to make it easier to resume a download. excellent program! I will keep checking back for up for updates! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
WOW! So much corresopndence! This is an awesome program and if developed further (not saying it needs it) ... but you could probably SELL IT! Oh, I have a question. Anyone know how to make a downloader compatible with JustOn ? (info: http://www.expressresponse.com/novelljo , just search for "getright") ? That would help me out TREMENDOUSLY! Thanks! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I cannot get my own source code or yours to work using Win2000. It makes the connection, sends the GET, but no data arrival. 8( (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Eric I definately voting for you my Man! This is excellent code, just what I was looking for, although I had a bit of trouble downloading binary files - specifically .gifs. Oh well, it's still a kick arse program! Pause, Resume, Pause, Resume, Pause, Resume! Ye-hee Yeeah! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I fixed a few bugs in it already but havent posted it or anything yet.. The problem was I was opening and closing the file everytime It recieved a chunk..I decided that was to much overhead processing and it was a bit sloppy so I did it a bit different for the next release. I'll post next release once I get the ftp working correctly on it.. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
very sucessfull but needs improvments..I took ıt and added it some functions like pause and stop and some others. It will be on PSC soon. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
its great!if it is possible with vb, can you add a feature so it monitors clicks from IE?it would also be much appreciated if you could tell me how to do this (if you know how). ** THIS IS THE BEST VB DOWNLOADER THAT** I'VE SEEN! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Excellent program - is there a way you can download files from lots of different url's - input lots of url in a file and it downloads them one after the other. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
i cant download ur application. what is the reason? any other site, where the application is avble for downloading... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Wow this is the best download i seen made in vb so far i rate it Excellent (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
