How to resume download files with VFP?

[longda]

I would like to create a download manager using VFP because a broadband connection is not available in my area. Many of the download managers I have seen on the web are able to resume a download if it is interrupted some how. I wanted to try and create one using VFP because I thought it would be a really good choice because of its data handling abilities and was wandering how it is done.

Is there a way in VFP to download files and also have a resume feature? Also, is there a way to download a file in multiple segments to try and speed up the download?

Thanks for any ideas.

Take a look at this thread:
thread184-721172

And also my FAQ:
How do I transfer files using FTP?
faq184-3234

Just stay away from callback functions (ones that keep the user updated on progress for instance) if you can. The ftp routines in the faq are a lot faster than the average public domain gui interface, because they don't constantly stop to count bytes and refresh the screen.
Using the winsock ocx, you could provide a minimum of progress feedback without too much extra overhead.

Also, feel free to download the ftpClient from my web site (link below) and modify it to suit your needs.
