information from download

[miranda]

How would i get the download rate and the size of the file that i'm downloading using this command:

        private void botao1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            string url = "http://mysite.com/haha.mst";
            string destino = "C:\\Programas\\haha.mst";
            System.Net.WebClient Client = new System.Net.WebClient();
            Client.DownloadFile(url, destino);
         }

I don't know of any way to get the download rate and/or the download file size using the DownloadFile method. So, I'll post another approach to your request. You'll have to thoroughly test it since I've done very little testing on the code.

Also, please note the space in the following code:

FileWriter=new StreamWriter(new FileStream(destino,FileMode.CreateNew,FileAccess.Write,FileShare.None));

The message board sometimes puts random spaces in the code as indicated above which makes it appear as a typo error. The posted code should NOT have a space between the W and the r
