Hi All,
This is my first post in Borland NG. I have never tried the Sockets in 
Borland. I want to download this file from NL:
http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/files/EuroMillions.csv

Below is the part of code, can anyone guide me what i'm missing or how 
to get this done in right way.

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
  try
  {
    if (ClientSocket1->Active)
       ClientSocket1->Active = false;

    ClientSocket1->Port = 80;
    ClientSocket1->Address = "195.190.132.10";
    ClientSocket1->Active = true;

    if( ClientSocket1->Active )
    {
     ListBox1->AddItem("Connected", this);

     // Download the file
     //   ClientSocket1->Socket->SendText("GET 
player/files/EuroMillions.csv HTTP/1.0 \n\n");
    }
  }
  catch(...)
  {
     ListBox1->AddItem("Exception", this);
  }
}

Cheers
Nirvana
