I have tried using the My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile method but unfortunately it is slow. Executing the simple command below takes ~5-10 secs, which I would say is a lot longer than expected for downloading a 9 kb file.

`My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("http://www.google.dk", "j:\temp\test.html")`

I am connecting via a high-speed connection (>10GB) from a Win7 machine. Do anyone know of any explanations for this behavior?

Hope that you can help me out with this. Kristoffer

Generally speaking, when VB.NET and C# are compared, there is a lot of strong support for C#, accompanied by some bashing of VB.NET until a respected developer comes along and acts as The Voice Of Reason, pointing out that while VB prior to VB.NET had its fair share of issues, VB.NET is really a very… >>> More
