Downloading files with Java

Question

I\'ve written a bit of code for downloading an episode of a webcast I do. It gets the URL of the episode and gets the place to save it. However, it only downloads up to 16MB and

Answer 1

here's another solution :

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class DownloadFile
{

    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
    {

        java.io.BufferedInputStream in = new java.io.BufferedInputStream(new java.net.URL(episode.getUrl()).openStream());
        java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(episode.getLocalSave());
        java.io.BufferedOutputStream bout = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
        byte data[] = new byte[1024];
        int read;
        while((read = in.read(data,0,1024))>=0)
        {
            bout.write(data, 0, read);
        }
        bout.close();
        in.close();
    }
}

Answer 2

A quick look at the documentation of transferFrom:

public abstract long transferFrom(ReadableByteChannel channel, long position, long count)

WELL.

The value 1<<24 for the count (from the original question) equals 16M

I guess that's the answer to your question :-)
