Hey guys how do you program to download a file from a website, im trying to make a download manager, so that once the the http address is provided it will use this and download it. Im doing this in VB.NET
 
Not sure if this is the answer you need but cant you provide a LinkLabel to the file which requires downloading? This way when the user clicks on the link the download should start
 
Oh but im making a download manager, and i want to handle the download so that it can allow resuming etc and i can keep track of how much is downloaded etc...
 
dynamic_sysop has a sample in the code library that downloads an image file from a url and gives the size / size downloaded.
Have a look there - the code is pretty straight forward.
(dont forget to thank him either :D )
