[adixtopix]

Hello guys.

I want to use Indy to download a file from the internet.
Let's say that the file i try to download is behind this link : [link]
http://www.torry.net/vcl/menus/menuenhancments/mxpmenu.zip[/link].

Now, what components should i use?
I know i can't use any ftp components.
I also want to show a progress of the download.

Thanck you for your future answer

You need the TIdHTTP component.

Just see the demo project for Indy from HTTPClient directory - there is a sample for your task

AdixtoPix,

i´m think serious in stop my headache with Indy and go
to "ICS" from FrançõisPiette..

all demos from "ICS" works fine..
the component is more stable..

i found this conclusion because..

Indy is a mutant component..

the demos don´t compile (if they exist...)

indy is a blackbox.. because you don´t know what is
the "new implementation" of indy 10.xx..yy...zzz release
will change all your code.. (for nothing...the changes nor always reflect the benefits)

i use indy in old versions.. (called winshoes)...
- i know indy 8, 9, 10...

and for me was a "hard work" to install Indy 10 manually..

this component is like a fat lady...

this remember me the day where i stopped to lose my time using "DeveloperExpress" grids.. and when i changed to EHLIB grid (from a brillant russian guy) and there is no more problems.

i think to stop to using Indy 10 million release and go to ICS...
