1. Connection Speed (Internet help needed)
hi,
i'm creating a program for downloading files from ftp servers and i have
be confronted by people asking me to add an area telling them how much
time left/how much elapsed just like IE.
In order for me to do this, i will have to be knowing the connection
speed? I'm coding my program using the winsock wrapper..
is there some one out there who can help me out? Either with API code to
do this...or anything that can help

Just divide the seconds you have been downloading by the amount of bytes
you have transferred so far, this will give you bytes per second. You
can then divide the number of bytes left by bytes per second and you
have a estimation of the number of seconds left.
That's how IE and most other download programs do it.
