URLDownloadToFileA(0, LPCSTR sUrl, LPCSTR sFilename, 0, 0);

The last parameter can also be the address of a callback function.

And if you wanted a DBP version

This may help, but in brief: The first parameter is used when calling from an ActiveX control and is not applicable. The fourth parameter is reserved and must always be 0. The last parameter is the callback function so you can, for example, display progress, though in Dark BASIC Classic or Pro, this is also not applicable.

Quick question, with the URLmon.dll I have been trying, but how do you report progress of the file being downloading, like 530kb of 45.mb? or something like that?

EDIT:
And is finished downloading...

It's, to the best of my knowledge, not possible in DBP. You need to specify the address of a function as the last parameter in the DownloadToFile function. If you were to write it in a language capable of callbacks, you should look here for information on what the callback function is.

not possible. the UrlMon is one thread dll.. wich means, the engine will freeze up until the file will be downloaded.
