Hi Al

>Not sure what you want here. The download link is http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/updates/sp/vs6/sp6/download/default.aspx

Yes but this points to the page. When you click the download button the download starts in IE. Where is IE downloading it from? That is the link I was wanting. The download manager is not able to intercept the click on the button and the ensuing URL. Such a huge download I don;t want to depend on the IE download management, I would rather my mamanger handle it.
