I am using the example from LargeFileDownload to download a file from my server.
My link to the server and file to download is:
B4X:
Private link1 As String = "http://197.189.XXX.XXX/NewFiles/Downloads/The-Problems-of-Philosophy-LewisTheme.epub"
If I type the above address into my browser, I locate the file no problem.
However, running the LargeFileDownload example, I get the following:
B4X:
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
** Service (downloadservice) Create **
** Service (downloadservice) Start **
** Service (httputils2service) Create **
** Service (httputils2service) Start **

Would I have to add:
B4X:
Dim j As HttpJob
j.Initialize("job name", Me)
j.Download(<link>) 'it can also be PostString or any of the other methods
j.GetRequest.SetHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0")
If so, where in the code would I add this?
