Maybe we should disable this function optional? For example, add forcemode for it?

How to monitor the progress of URLDownloadToFile so we can display the progress in GUI?

The ability to monitor the progress of a download is planned. There might be other improvements too.

Thanks.

How about making an option for it to automatically "pause" persay, if your less then quality dialup connection like mine cuts out and then resume once connectivity is restablished?

Resuming an interrupted download probably won't be added as a feature (except to the extent that it's already supported by by the built-in OS functions that AutoHotkey calls). Therefore, it would probably be better to use a command line utility that has the capability to resume.

Would adding an option to return the size that the file was reported to be in an optional variable be a possibility?

There is a plan to add the ability to query the size of a remote/HTTP file. In the meantime, I'm pretty sure there's a way to get the size via DllCall, perhaps via:

HttpQueryInfo(hResource, 5, ...) ; 5 is HTTP_QUERY_CONTENT_LENGTH.
