If you are only wanting to download web pages I would think 
einetlib.ew is probably better than euTCP4u.  
euTCP4u is general purpose sockets library that just happens to have 
an advanced feature to download files from the web. (Which by the way
doesn't seem to work at the moment!).

One small advantage is that euTCP4u is shipped with it's own DLL
where I assume einetlib.ew depends upon inetlib.dll (or something like
that) which is installed with IE 4 or above. So if you are sending
your programs to other people you need to make sure they have IE4 or 
above installed (mostly this will be the case).
