DownloadComplete event is triggered whenever the bot completes or aborts downloading a file from internet (http).
To request a download from URL $u to a file on your computer
having the same name as the file on the web:
Download $u
To request a download to a specified filename (or full path +
filename) $f
Download $u $f
These two statements trigger the DownloadComplete event. You do not need to wait for this event to occur to isue multiple requests: they get queued in a request buffer. All downloads are in a separate thread, the program regulates how many threads it allows at one given time.
xelagot 3.607 or newer
If file $f is not specified, the file is downloaded to the _Downloads folder. The filename convention for $f in Download $u $f is explained in the section Filenames. However, in this case, the _Downloads folder takes precedence over the script's folder. If the destination path and folder does not exist, it will be created to accommodate the file.
xelagot 3.606 or older
Files are downloaded to the Downloads folder by default. A
different full path (+ filename) may be specified in $f.
