web restrictions at work
our site has banned the download of zip files
unfortunately it's quite comprehensive and i haven't managed to work out a subtle way of downloading them.
what does work is download accelerator, but if i'm found using that, i'll get a b0ll0kin.
Anyone know how they do that so that i can emulate it in vb. do they use their own proxy and rename the files from the proxy to the client? ie; are they no longer zips when they download to the client pc's d/l accelerator?

fosters,
easiest solution is to post the links to the files you want and let your fellow SN'ers get em and rename em and upload em again! O what shall we say, £10 a file????
Hmmm progamming wise, couldnt you initiate an ftp/http connection and stream it into a local file with a different name, on the FTP component Ive got (for delphi) I can specifiy a host and localfile name, maybe theres a VB activex ftp control which might do the same?
