RadAsyncDownload

[Gal]

As files are getting bigger and bigger I think the demand to enable download of huge files is on the rise. 
I'm currently developing the ability to download files with Silverlight.
But a good idea is for Telerik to create an AsyncDownload similar to AsyncUpload just in the other direction.

In addition the control can have additional features :

1. Download directly from ftp/sftp server.(good idea for AsyncUpload )
2. The control should enable for over 2GB files and automatically utilize Silverlight WCF/FLASH/HTTP according to what is available on the client computer. 
3. Pause and resume buttons. (good idea for AsyncUpload )
   
4. Include progress bar indication.
5. Incorporate in RadGrid 

I'd love to hear all your input on the issue.

I realize this is an old thread, but I could use this.  Is there any new information RadAsyncDownload?
Thanks much!

Hi Mary,

Such a control has not been yet added in the RadControls suite for ASP.NET AJAX. Please have a look at this forum thread which deals with a similar scenario.

Thanks,
Shinu.
