[Gambas-user] Downloading files

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

I meant binary files like photos or parts of a program (zipped, maybe), 
to be used for updates. Can be anything from a few kB to several MB. Is 
there a reason to choose a certain method for any of these, or does it 
depend on programming reasons only?
