How can I download files from the internet using VB.Net?
For example I would like to download this file http://www.testsite.com/test.avi
Also a user name and password are required to download the file.
All I want to do is tell the program the file and download it to a specific location on my computer.


\\\
Dim w As New WebClient()
w.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("username", "password")
w.DownloadFile(...)
///

BTW: I am curious why you posted this question to the Windows Forms group. The name of the VB.NET group is "microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb".
