I have a loop set up that iterates through a List of video object and downloads them one by one. The problem is, that because of varying file sizes, I need my outter loop to wait until a file is downloaded. What would be the most efficient way to do this? I am using System.Net.Webclient

As of right now the downloading works somewhat, I get about 24-27 of 94 files. The download method I am using is synchronous btw.

Now I did throw in a 2 minute sleep method on the main thread and it got all 94 files, but that just doesn't feel right hehehehe :P

I am thinking I could use Asynchronous download from System.Net.Webclient and the Downloaded event to inform myself that the file is completed and I can move onto the next file in the video_list.Entries, but I honestly am not sure how to go about that.

Thank you for your help!

        For Each _video As Video In video_list.Entries
            Dim paramVideo As Video = _video
            viItem = New VideoInfo
            count = count + 1

            Dim VideoTitle As String = count.ToString() + ": " + _video.Title.ToString()

            viItem.IndexCount = count.ToString()
            viItem.Title = _video.Title.ToString()
            viItem.URL = _video.WatchPage.AbsoluteUri.ToString()
            _List.Add(viItem)


            t2 = New Thread(Sub() Me.download(paramVideo, yourequest, count))
            t2.Start()
            'Need to wait here until t2 is finished downloading then end the thread.
