I was able to crudely download the files from the server using microsoft's internet transfer control in vb6. I'm having difficulty in looping through the file list, I need a way to be able to download the files concurrently or have the internet transfer control wait till the previous file is done. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I'm pretty sure I have to use the inet_state property but not exactly how to use this.
