I want to find the file size without downloading the file...

Here you go, gets the size of a file w/o downloading the file. Using Internet Transfer Control.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Inet1.URL = "http://www.yahoo.com/something.exe"
Inet1.Execute , "HEAD"
End Sub

Private Sub Inet1_StateChanged(ByVal State As Integer)
Dim DocSize As Long
Select Case State
Case icResponseCompleted
If Len(Inet1.GetHeader("Content-Length")) > 0 Then
DocSize = CLng(Inet1.GetHeader("Content-Length"))
Text1.Text = DocSize ' <----- This puts the Size of the file in a text box
End If
End Select
End Sub
