For some reason, if you have urlmon try and download a file twice inside a program, only the first one actually downloads. Any idea why?

whether its in a loop or just placed twice it only works once. placing huge waits doesn't help either.

i tried "gogas free dbp plugin" because that has "downloadfile" command, but I think that uses urlmon because that only works once as well.

Code?

This works fine:

+ Code Snippet

website$="http://www.google.com"
filename$="tempfile.txt"

ok=download(website$,filename$)

if ok=1
   print "Downloaded OK"
else
   print "Error Downloading"
endif


website$="http://www.google.com"
filename$="tempfile2.txt"

ok=download(website$,filename$)

if ok=1
   print "Downloaded OK"
else
   print "Error Downloading"
endif




wait key
end


function download(w$,f$)
   if file exist(f$) then delete file f$
   load dll "urlmon",1
   a=CALL DLL(1,"URLDownloadToFileA",0,w$,f$,0,0)
   delete dll 1
   ok=0
   if a=0 then ok=1
endfunction ok

Boo!
