Those are really good news, this means that it might be another code section causing these issues and not the presently used download function.


Look here:

function NetConnection(Var NetType : String): Boolean;



var

  flags: DWORD;

begin

  Result := InternetGetConnectedState(@flags, 0);

  if Result then

  begin

  if (flags and INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM) = INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM

then

  NetType := 'Modem';

  if (flags and INTERNET_CONNECTION_LAN) = INTERNET_CONNECTION_LAN then

  NetType := 'LAN';

  if (flags and INTERNET_CONNECTION_PROXY) = INTERNET_CONNECTION_PROXY

then

  NetType := 'Proxy';

  if (flags and INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM_BUSY) =

INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM_BUSY then

  NetType := 'Modem Busy';

  end;

end;

Maybe the value from InternetGetConnectedState is not working as supposed, this is a function that comes directly from wininet.dll

Anyone knows an alternative to know if wether a machine is online or not?

Yep, just try to connect and when you get a timeout you're offline!

Don't know how you designed the downoader but i expect that if the downloader would detect that the computer is offline it would not try to download the components, like it used to do in my case.

Guess we need a faster process, otherwise the timeout would also occur on people's pacience to wait..

Ping google. That's as fast and reliable as it gets.
