It would be very useful, but make a tutorial making a basic downloader, like just click a button and it downloads
That way the leechers have to find out how to make it good themselves

I already know how to do it so it doesn't bother me.

Why do you not want code to be posted as a whole? Saves everyone fucking about and moaning about it not working. What about when you was new to programming and if noone replied to you with an answer you would never learn. You can't just look at code and understand it without knowledge of the syntax.

Copy and paste will not teach anyone, BUT they're only cheating themselves not you nor the tutorial creator.

To be honest tutorials should be posted whole and commented code, pasting code out of an application is hardly a tutorial. Without the people who view the tutorials you wouldn't have this website.

Since some of your comments are flaming people for not doing it themselves I would reconsider your view on tutorials without any comments or explanation of what does what.

Ok, You do it......

First what Pixie is saying is to make it as easy as possible, So those who claim...to know how
who may not actually know how, who may say they don't care but may write a whole post and why it matters the code is as detailed as possible even though you can accomplish this with only a few lines of code and as if looking for a way to c&P themselves ( all this is hypothetical of course)

I think it's great bombsaway and Pixie want's to make it easy for the leechers, they are going to leech anyway, leechers don't learn, they don't want to , they want to copy and paste tuts and claim it as thier own, copy and paste code and upload it as their own project, and not even give credit to those who worked hard on it, So i say its great to adopt a leecher friendly revision of tuts....

In fact, leechers, here you go

Download File

Code:
	My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile _
    	("http://www.mywebsite.com/downloads/Some.whatever", _
    	"C:\Documents\Some.whatever")
Upload File

Code:
My.Computer.Network.UploadFile( _
	"C:\Documents\Some.exe", _
	"http://www.yourwebsite.com/uploads/")
Have fun !

Slightly more coding involved (trying to make this easy to leech) but yeah you can use that to.

Code:
Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" _
    Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, _
    ByVal szURL As String, ByVal szFileName As String, _
    ByVal dwReserved As Long, ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long

'inside a command click event or whatever

URLDownloadToFile 0, _
        "http://www.yourwebsite.com/downloads/something.whatever", _
        "C:\downloads\something.whatever", 0, 0

Fair enough, my point was without commenting code one can't learn from the example. I've tried downloaded source code for applications but get lost at the start due to not declaring things, commenting unknown code to me etc.. But that's just me, when I post tutorials I'll post along with comments if that's ok?
