6/1/2001 6:59:56 PM:Sean Gallardy
There should be 9 files in the zip.
load the project, not the control.

This is just what i needed.

A 'stop download' feature would be
nice...
Great work !!!
|

I am having problems loading the
project. Is this a VB 6.0 project? Can
it be ran from any directory (it was
looking for files under
|

There's one problem: you cannot access
the downloaded file untill the .ocx was
unloaded.
To fix that, add the
missing 'Close #1' to the 'Sub
Download' in the DLMain.ctl right
after
Loop While UBound(bData, 1) >
0
Close #1

Steve, i have succesfully added a
'Cancel' command, i see the bug now,
thanks for responding! It has also been
fixed.
To Randy, All the files should
be there,It WAS made in VB6.0, although
i was informed some things did not load
in vb.net. Open up the'Project 1.vbp'
file instead of the .ctl file. If your
adding the control to another program,
make sure to add all the property pages
as well.

when is the next release planned?
|
6/3/2001 9:12:22 PM:Sean Gallardy
I am releasing a new one today with the
Cancel feature, the close bug fixed,
and an error code along with status. I
have gotten e-mails for Block
Downloads, which will be available soon
once i work out the bugs in it.

if you get a 404 error (file not found)
then you still try to set the
progressbar max property to the
filesize, there is no filesize, so
there is a runtime error spawned. Just
need a bit of error handeling in your
control, or in the command_click
procedure.

And you claim yourself to be a Beginner
? Tz, Tz, Tz ...
|
6/9/2001 10:13:55 AM:opello
Hey Sean, you still need error
handeling for the file not found error
(just enter a fake address to get your
not found error,
http://www.xyz.com/xyz.xyz, and you
will see the runtime error generated.
I coded it out of mine, but I don't
know how to apply it to yours ... raise
an error occurred event (don't remember
if you do or not) and then check for it
... ) also, I don't think you got the
transfer rate correct, I was getting 17
- 20 KB on my 56k modem, and I usually
only get 5 kbps on downloads. Other
than that, you need to disable the
cancel button (or make it if download =
true then ignore cancel commands,
because if you click cancel after a
download is complete, then you start
the next download, it will be
canceled.) Also, try canceling in
mid-download, then 're-downloading'.
It should restart, but it just freezes.
Other than those few qualms ;) I
think you have a great code!
|
6/10/2001 1:52:06 AM:Sean Gallardy
I haven't updated yet, thats why there
is still no error code. The transfer is
correct, sometimes the IE download says
15-20k on my 56k, and whats funny is it
does. The cancel bug HAS been fixed. I
have never had the download freeze on
me like you say, but i will keep
trying. Thanks opello!
|
6/10/2001 12:40:39 PM:opello
I'm sorry, my mistake. After testing
with larger files, I received more
realistic (rather expected) results.
Sorry about that! :( Again, Great code!

I have not tested the program ,in lack
of time, but when i get home, i will
test it, and get back with ratins,
greetings from Sweden
|
6/13/2001 7:45:20 PM:opello
test away, this is the most useful code
that I have found on here. Sure, some
is entertaining, but this is actually
usable to me. KUDOS!

Pretty good job..I have source code
from a program I made a while back and
released on here full source code that
has resume, pause, stop, etc. etc.
using just winsock of course!! If you
need some help getting those things to
work it should be of great help to you.
You can search this site for
'DownloadIt' or goto my page at
www.elucidsoftware.com
Later,

Nice control, but will you develop
proxy (with authentication) support ?
|
7/22/2001 6:27:17 PM:Coolme
how do i use it ?
|
7/26/2001 5:45:42 PM:Jake (Evergreen98)
Wow! This control definitely deserves
5/5 and the contest award...worked
perfectly through all my trial test,
and now I plan to use it internally for
checking my website. Great work, and
it's so easy to use! 5/5 all the
way!
(My speed for your reference was
~250kB/s to ~317kB/s on cable. Pretty
good speed for HTTP!)
One last
request...could you possibly either do
an FTP version of this control, or show
me how? Thanks.

7/29/2001 9:21:28 AM:opello
Hey Sean. I've somewhat lost contact
with your code. Is this a new
revision? After the 5th one? (Is this
#6?)

This code deserves 10/5. I can tell you
spend a lot of time with this.
|
8/5/2002 4:00:35 AM:Nathan
Note: The downloaded files are saved by
default to 'c:\file1.tmp'.
