Progress bar in asp while file is downloading

shil

Users can view mpeg movies from my website. When users who don't have
DSL, it takes longer time to launch windows media player and play the
movie. There is no indication to the users that file download is going
on. To them it appears hung.

Is there any way to show progress bar on the page while file is
downloading in the background?

My code is:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<TABLE id="Table1" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="479"
border="0" height="74">
<TR>
<TD align="center" class="HeaderTe xt">Nalco Communications Video
Library</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD width="769" align="center">
<p class="ItemText "><a href="\videos\v ideo1.mpg">Vide o1</a></p>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
Thank you.

Yes you can, windows media player gives you events telling you what it is
doing such as loading playing buffering, but this is on the client side not
the server side.

I made a quick example, look at source code, look up the windows media
object at MSDN, it has many events and properties to play with

I wrote a program that downloads rar files off my ftp server using TCP client. I would like to display a progress bar that advances while downloading the files. I tried that, but the program freezes while it's downloading and the progress bar is not responding as well. I've read articles on MSDN and google, but wasn't successful at doing it.

The closest I've come is my local web developer says the Internet Explorer is the application...

Threads and Progress Bar

by: Ritesh Raj Sarraf | last post by:

Hi, I have a small application, written in Python, that uses threads. The application uses function foo() to download files from the web. As it reads data from the web server, it runs a progress bar by calling an install of a progress bar class. When using threads, I get the problem that the progress bar gets over-written by the download progress of files from other threads.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
