You need to capture the file size and the transfer rate and pass the same to the progress bar.

(size transfered/Totalsize of file)*100

This will return you the %completed download.

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. Am I missing something? could someone guide me through this? I appreciate your help, Howard

Everytime I download a file from the web I get a nice animated dialogue box that shows the size of the file, how much has been received and the approximate remaining time. It also gives the connection bandwidth. I've looked in different development groups through google/groups to find an example of C # code that would give me a similar readout.

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.
