I tried many times to download it but I can't. Just a few seconds
before the downloading finish, it stops and says
"Check internet connection". This happened before with
( .7z) extension files. Never with (.zip) extension files.
But it could be windows 7 or my browser (slimjet), I am not sure.
(FYI: I'm currently using a wifi hotspot on my phone to get my PC onto the internet.)
I noticed that download rates in my browser will fluctuate, or slow down to 0, and then the download will fail.
After 3 failed attempts to download Steve's calendar in Chrome, I tried using Curl and it worked perfectly the first time.
I've written the necessary Curl command into a QB64PE program to avoid using the command line directly, so if you have Curl available you could try this tiny program:
Code: (Select All)
shell ("curl.exe -k -o test.zip https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/attachment.php?aid=242")
(If you don't have Curl and you are on Windows, Curl.exe is freely available online. I'm sure Curl GUIs are also out there. Your search engine is your friend.)
(If Curl is not in your system path then replace "curl.exe" above with the full path to curl.exe. For example, on my system that path would be "C:\progs\cmdline\nix\curl.exe". It will be different for your system.)
Note: "-o Steves_Calendar.7z" tells Curl to write the downloaded data to a file named "Steves_Calendar.7z". You can change "Steves_Calendar" to whatever you want.
