InternetReadFile and bytes

[JanyMoon]

Hi!
I use InternetReadFile() function to read bytes from FTP server. But I not sure about number of bytes to read in one time. Have any idea what is the best number?
For now I use 4096 and works fine.
eg.
lnBytes=4096
InternetReadFile( lhFile, @lcBuffer, lnBytes, @lnBytesRead )

I think the best answer to that is whatever works for you.
So much depends on network/internet traffic, dial-up vs. broadband, server load, etc.

Experiment a little and see if you get better results or faster performance, but the way I see it, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
