UrlDownloadEx() - Download with maximum speed

FaridAgl · June 23, 2014

If you ever tried to download some remote file from your script using InetGet(), InetRead() or other download functions, you probably noticed that the download speed was never as good as when you try to download the same file using a download manager.

But that's over, you won't lack the high speed download capability of download managers in your AutoIt scripts, not anymore.

Enjoy:

; Name ..........: UrlDownloadEx
; Description ...: Download a single file by splitting it in segments and using several simultaneous connections to download these segments from a single server.
; Syntax ........: UrlDownloadEx($sUrl [, $sFileName = Default [, $iNumberOfConnections = Default [, $CallbackFunction = Default [, $vParam = 0]]]])
; Parameters ....: $sUrl                 - Url of the file to download.
;                  $sFileName            - [optional] Local filename to download to. Default is "".
;                  $iNumberOfConnections - [optional] Number of simultaneous connections. Default is 8.
;                  $CallbackFunction     - [optional] An application-defined callback function to call when progress is made. Default is Null.
;                  $vParam               - [optional] An application-defined value to be passed to the callback function. Default is 0.
; Return values .: Success - Returns a binary string if file name is not supplied.
;                          - Returns 1 if file name is supplied
;                          - @extended receives the number of received bytes.
;                  Failure - Returns 0 and sets @error:
;                  |1  - Invalid number of connections
;                  |2  - Invalid callback function
;                  |3  - Invalid url

; Author ........: FaridAgl
; Remarks .......: The Url parameter should be in the form "http://www.somesite.com/path/file.html", just like an address you would type into your web browser.
;                  + Please use a high number of connections with caution. Some servers may have specific limitations for a number of connections from one client, when the number of connections is high, the servers can put your computer to a black list.
;                  + For some connection types or for low performance computers or routers, the download speed may decrease when you increase the number of connections.
;                  + The callback function is called with the following parameters: $iReceivedBytes, $iTotalReceivedBytes, $iDownloadSize, $vParam
;                  + To continue downloading, the callback function must return True; to stop downloading, it must return False.

Example 1 - Download to a local file and use callback function to monitor and control the download progress:

#include "UrlDownloadEx.au3"

Global $t1 = TimerInit()
Global $vResult = UrlDownloadEx("http://www.autoitscript.com/files/autoit3/autoit-v3-setup.exe", @ScriptDir & "\AutoIt 3.3.12.0.exe", Default, BytesReceived)
ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("Result:\t%s\nSize:\t%u\nError:\t%u\nTimer:\t%u\n", $vResult, @extended, @error, TimerDiff($t1)))

Func BytesReceived($iReceivedBytes, $iTotalReceivedBytes, $iDownloadSize, $vParam)
    If ($iTotalReceivedBytes >= 2 * 1024 * 1024) Then Return False ;Stop downloading

    ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("%u bytes received.\n%u/%u\nParam: %s\n\n", $iReceivedBytes, $iTotalReceivedBytes, $iDownloadSize, $vParam))
    Return True ;Continue downloading
EndFunc

Example 2 - Download to memory and set the number of connections to 2:

#include "UrlDownloadEx.au3"

Global $t1 = TimerInit()
Global $vResult = UrlDownloadEx("http://icdn4.digitaltrends.com/image/microsoft_xp_bliss_desktop_image-650x0.jpg", Default, 2)
ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("Result:\t%s\nSize:\t%u\nError:\t%u\nTimer:\t%u\n", $vResult, @extended, @error, TimerDiff($t1)))

Thank you for sharing this! Very nice job!

guinness · June 23, 2014

Of course I ran it once and was like "Where is the AutoIt exe?" but then I commented out line 8 and voila it worked. I somehow get the feeling I gave you inspiration for the delegate function BytesReceived() concept. -_0

5* from me at least.

Edited June 23, 2014 by guinness

guinness · June 23, 2014

Could you explain the usage of $vParam to me please. I get it's used in the callback function, but I can't see why it is needed.

FaridAgl · June 23, 2014

I somehow get the feeling I gave you inspiration for the delegate function BytesReceived() concept. -_0

Well, I was going to admit it

Could you explain the usage of $vParam to me please. I get it's used in the callback function, but I can't see why it is needed.

I believe this is somehow the usual way of defining a callback (delegate), an additional parameter that can deliver whatever you may need into your callback function.

FaridAgl · June 23, 2014

Oh, I forgot to say.

it's not possible to abort (cancel) the download by returning False from the callback function, and retrieve the downloaded data, that makes no sense because the file is getting downloaded as multiple segments, and there isn't any reliable data to retrieve as long as the download isn't completed. This is why 1st example doesn't create any file.

guinness · June 23, 2014

Well, I was going to admit it

I believe this is somehow the usual way of defining a callback (delegate), an additional parameter that can deliver whatever you may need into your callback function.

Haha. I understand, it's some sort of user parameter.

FaridAgl · June 23, 2014

Haha. I understand, it's some sort of user parameter.

That's so true.

WinHttp.au3 which version

Example 1.au3 and Example 2.au3 dont work

https://code.google.com/p/autoit-winhttp/downloads/list

your WinHttp.au3,,can you add please ,,or link version

mine version 1.6.3.7 ,,,, or yours?

FaridAgl · June 24, 2014

Latest version.

What error did you get? Check the @error value.

GtaSpider · June 24, 2014

Hey,

Nice work! The speed difference surely depends on the speed of the server, and how much speed it is able to give per connection. I made a little Example where you can see the speed. The file is hosted on a very fast server, so the difference shouldn't be that huge. But you can try it with other files from slower servers or may servers which are on the other side of the world (from your position )

Thanks for sharing Farid!

Edited June 24, 2014 by GtaSpider

FaridAgl · June 25, 2014

Thank you, a very nice example.

You are absolutely true, it depends on the servers and how the server is configured. Usually servers have a download speed limit per each connection, so downloading a file with multiple connection can boost the download speed.

However, if your Internet connection's download bandwidth is low, or the server has no limit on the download speed, the difference shouldn't be that much.

Also some servers won't allow multiple connections for downloading a single file, or they don't even support the "Range" http header field.

But, most of the times, you would enjoy using this method of downloading.

dowload

Edited June 25, 2014 by mesale0077

FaridAgl · June 25, 2014

Error:  14

It means the callback function returned False, so the download got aborted.

Check your code and make sure you are returning True from the callback function all the times.

Remember, it's necessary for the callback function to return True, if you don't return any value from the callback function, it will be considered as False and the download progress will be aborted.

t0nZ · June 29, 2014

Fantastic work!

I tested It in a dirty download benchmark with temporary links-> .

But Combofix.exe don't get downloaded...

FaridAgl · June 29, 2014

Is this the link?

If yes, I can't even download it in the browser, because:

404: Page Not Found

The static link is only

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/dl/12/

my example search the temporary link (using the static link and the filename.exe as parameters) and it tries to download.

the temporary link is like

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/dl/3a314486dc4cdc746d35b26ea1bb0837/53b10c72/windows/security/anti-virus/c/combofix/ComboFix.exe

Your UrlDownloadEx() is OK with the other two downloads, I think it's a property of the combofix hosting server, maybe it doesn't permit downloading in pieces ?

Yes, that's possible and can be the reason.

Check the @error value and tell me what is that.

I've tested it with this temporary link:

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/dl/ccf409088ff492398a2318ab3b9dc11e/53b199e7/windows/security/anti-virus/c/combofix/ComboFix.exe

And it just worked.
