how to script to download a file given in a http url without user
intervention and still be able to control where the file is save?

I tried
   Const myFileUrl = "http://www.mysite.com/somedirectorypath/somefilename"

   Dim oIeDnLod
   set oIeDnLod = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
   oIeDnLod.navigate(strUrl)

   do until oIeDnLod.readystate = 4
      wscript.sleep 20
   loop
...

But that result in a window dialog prompt.

what is a better approach? am I using the wrong tool?
