Re: [vox-tech] download manager c++ code

[Hai Yi <yihai2004@gmail.cMAPSom>]

Thanks to all, for the very helpful suggestions!

Now I can start using cURL on Windows platform (I created a static

cclive code to Windows, and working on it now. Any advice is welcome!

Thanks again for all your selfless help, cheer!

There are some examples online of using wget with youtube which simply involves parsing the first webpage response to get the direct name of the file then downloading it and renaming it to put the proper extension on it.
