Multi Downloader Description

The Multi Downloader ActiveX control allows you to download multiple Internet-resources via HTTP, HTTPS and FTP protocols asynchronously and obtain all the necessary information about them without interfering with the main application processes.

This control supports the Multipart Multithreaded Downloading feature with the ability to resume the process from the point where it stops. You can start downloading internet resources from any random point you want.

The Web and Proxy authentication in Basic, Digest, NTLM and Kerberos modes is also supported.

Data compression provides faster transmission time between compression-enabled internet clients and web servers thus accelerate downloading performance many times.

Multi Downloader allows downloading of the entire web directory or website recursively.

Please see the Demos code (MultiDownLoader, GrabWebSite) and also the indexed Help system provided with the Clever Internet ActiveX Suite installation for more details about using this component.

The most common members of the Multi Downloader control can be seen below:
