VB.Net file retrieve using HTTP

Hi list, can someone point me to a namespace or piece of sample code that I
could use with a VB.Net windows application to go out to the net using http
and retrive a file and save it locally?

Thanks!

Derek,

In the way I understand it from you,

webclient.downloadfile
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...dfiletopic.asp

This uses HTTP. There is more however not as simple to use as the one above,

I hope this helps
