Hi,

I want to implement an automatic update check in an application,
but only if there is a broadband connection open. Is there a way
of checking this?
I am using Indy 9 http and BDS2006.

Cheers,

David

Not directly, no.  About all you can do is just try to connect to your
update server normally and then catch an errors in establishing the
connection.
