Multi segment file downloading

[qsek 16]

The reason i wrote this was because i didnt found any download manager in the whole web! where you can customize the starting position of the segments.

Most programs will just start one segment at 0%, the second at 50%, third at %25 ,75%, 12,5% and so on.

There is very little information about multi part/segement downloading in the forums so i gathered some informations and knocked this script together.

No messing with dlls or IE functions, just plain TCPSend and TCPRecv (i like it pure . You can adjust the header to your needs.

The initial segment size is 2 MB and the segments will start downloading from the beginning of the file.

This is ideal for viewing movies or avi files while downloading.

You can adjust the segment size while downloading.

If you want more then 4 segements you'll have to figure out yourself how to do it

The GUI is still basic. I was too lazy to implement the Progress bar.

You can see the completion percent in the consolewrites as soon as a segment finishes.

Looks nice, gos straight to my snippet folder .

[ripdad 55]

qsek, nice script

I've been tweaking on it a little - hope you don't mind.

Would like to see it come to full fruition - hope others will join in.

Among other things - I've added 1 progress bar.

I tried to add 4 of them, but it was too cpu intensive.

So, the one progress bar only samples the 1st segment in real time.

(it is not an exact percentage - but a representation of overall progress of all 4 segments combined)

- Edit: ( old script deleted - See new post below )

Good work both !

This look promising !

Update:

- Rearranged and cleaned code

- Changed algo

- Added InputBox

- Added Time

Edit - ( old script deleted )

- Some improvements & added a few goodies

Off to a new project .. hopefully someone else will pick up!
