server, enabling you to transfer multiple files simultaneously. This, 

combined with the ability to transfer the file in multiple parts, greatly 

increases the overall transfer speed and execution of your task.  

Transferring from URLs asynchronously  

Description  

Use the TransferURLAsync method to start a download from a web address, and 

return control to the script immediately. This method does not wait for the transfer 

to end. You can use it to perform many simultaneous transfers.  

The difference between this method and DownloadAsync is simply the ability to 

specify all of the necessary parameters in one command, rather than having to set the 

user name, port, host, etc. and then transfer a file.  

Immediately after you call this method subsequent methods in your script will be 

called, so be careful when timing certain events. 

If TransferURLAsync encounters a problem when trying to complete its task, it 

will not throw a COM, ATL, or VB error. TransferURLAsync will also adhere to 

your max global and per site settings. You can t use wildcards in this method.
