DownloadFile problem

[sora1984]

Hi I'm working an a patch application for a game we play, the code I have to read the version reads from a text file to get the URL
I have it in a config file so people can use the patcher for their game server also. (hope this is in the correct section)

config

PatchUrl=http://example.com/patchfolder/
ServerKey=blahblah

download patch section

Private Sub Downloader_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles Downloader.DoWork

            Dim http As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(Path & "\config")(0)
            Dim httpx As String
            Dim CLIENT As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(Path & "\version")(0)
            Dim CLIENTVER As String
            CLIENTVER = CLIENT.Remove(0, 9)
            httpx = http.Remove(0, 9)
            Dim patch As String
            patch = CLIENTVER + 1
            link = httpx & patch & ".zip"
            Dim size As Integer
            Dim wr As WebRequest
            wr = WebRequest.Create(link)


            Dim webr As WebResponse = wr.GetResponse
            size = webr.ContentLength
            size = size / 1024 / 1024
            ProgressBar3.Maximum = size
            Label4.Text = "Download Size " & size & " MB"
            Dim wc As New WebClient


            wc.DownloadFile(link, Path & "\" & patch & ".zip")

Everything works fine its just the the section "wc.DownloadFile(link," doesn't like me using link, (operation times out) but works if I type the exact URL there.
Any ideas as to why I'm still learning but I'm kinda stuck now.

Thank you for any feedback

Regards.

Presumably 'link' doesn't contain the correct value. Have you checked what it actually contains or are you just assuming that your code works even though it doesn't work.

I can show the value of (link) within a label just wont go through with the download part


jmcilhinney, I figured it out... just missed closing a web request simple as that been looking at that all morning hehe
