Progress bar for downloading

[xra7en]

I thought it better to start a new thread for a different topic, although it is related to my other thread
https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=3910.0

If I switch to the API method for downloading a file, is there a way to add a progress bar? sitting with a blank screen is no fun.
Currently I am using  CURL for my app. But the API shown in the thread above actually works better.

Thanks

OK peeking into this structure,

lpfnCB

last parameter is for progress, just trying to figure out how to make that work in qb64..

If it is a text file, it shouldn't be too large, right? How big is it? Most text files I downloaded with it were almost instantly downloaded.

o you got that in another post.. ya txt files are instant. I wanted to implement this api with larger zip/exe/arj/rar/msi etc.. files
