Massive Image Downloads Problem
hi Experts,
Hope you can help!
I need to load a massive 72000 URL that I need to download via HTTP.
I've tried components...WebCopy, URLDownload and IdHTTP.
The problem is that the application just freezes and I have to kill the process!
I have to get to the point of having to load 500 at a time and download them but it just takes me all day :o/
Can someone please help me with some code which can be able to do this please!
P.S: It's not my PC that can't handle it! I've got an Alienware Top of the range PC.
Hope you can help!
Thanks

It's looking very promising...although I've just had one problem. It's now kind of doing something as it has the hourglass but it's now connecting to the new right now ....or doesn't seem to be....how can I know when it's busy doing something or not please?

Works great! Thanks a million :o)
well, AFAIK, indy doesn't set the cursor to anything. so there is some other component doing that. I personally never saw this behaviour before, but then again, I never did try to process a lot of stuff (or a big stuff) from the UI, but from a thread :)

Thanks !!! :o)
