Am looking for a way to download a image from a URL using twebbrower and to save it to a folder, it would access url and then have section for file name and folder name and then it would save the file as a jpg to the folder on drive.

Thanks but still the same out come everytime I download the image it not downloaed correctly

The Filesize should be 4.30 KB (4,412 bytes) but the
Filesize I get is 948 bytes (948 bytes) I tried few code none seams to work..

That is odd. I haven't had any issues with that code. What is the URL for the file you want?

Interesting. It works fine here. I nade a simple test app with a web browser, and edit box, and a button. The code I used was as I posted above plus:

procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if DownloadFile(Edit1.Text, 'C:\Users\MyName\Documents\Test.JPG') then
    WebBrowser1.Navigate('C:\Users\MyName\Documents\Test.JPG');
end;

I put
http://www.team-mplayer.net/portraits/02002/00002.jpg
in the edit box, clicked the button, and the image appeared correctly in the web browser. Can you try that?

I worked it out I was not putting the file name on the URL silly me thanks for the help salmi :)
