Download info not showing

4 New Member
For a while now, my download box has stopped showing info on how big the file is and how long the download is. Eta comes up as Not known and the loading bar has disappeared. At first my first blame was AOL (as it's always them who's to blame for my internet failures ^_^) but then I figured it's probably a Windows Problem.
Any ideas anyone?

I have and idea: If you're still running IE6, try upgrading to IE7. If you're running IE7, get Firefox.

[But I see that you are a web developer, so you probably know all about that. I haven't tried downloading anything in IE7 since I switched to FF. I wonder if a Firefox setting has change the behavior some?]

Hopefully a simple question: how do I download a file (jpg image) to my hard drive from a website assuming I have its (the image's) URL? I tried urllib.urlretrieve() and it's not working. I'm relatively new to Python, so I'm probably make a dumb mistake or looking in the wrong place. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, J. W. McCall

I am writing pages that have hrefs to Word docs and Excel files. I'd like the link to function so that when it is clicked on in IE, instead of the browser showing the Word or Excel document that the user is prompted to save the file. Any idea how to do this? Thanks, David

Hi all, In VB6, I could use the API too query the size of a file on the web, then download that file showing a custom progress indicator. I realize that I can use the DownloadFile method and show a UI, but I would like to indicate progress in my own form instead. In VB2005, how can I first get the filesize of the web image (a tif file), then stream that image (as an array of bytes??) to a local file while showing progress? If all...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
