Problem using showUI in My.computer.Network.DownloadFile
I wish to us My.computer.Network.Downlo adFile to download files from the internet because it has a built in UI that shows progress and also has a [Cancel] button.
I am not looking for an alternative method to download as I have otherways already. I'm simply looking to see if the following attached code can be made to work... Am I doing something wrong?
It flashes the UI and saves a zero byte file.

Hi Tim,
I think youtube might have implemented some sort of security so that its not easy to download the file.
Thanks for the points.

None of the suggestions seems to make a difference. I suspect it is simply a problem with the way the file is served up in this case..
I am goiing to resort to generating my own UI.
