I am trying to find a way to get rid of the matlab download command urlwrite because I can not see the download progress. I am downloading a 500MB file with 

 urlwrite('http://example.com/testfile','C:/work');
Because I can not see the estimate time or the download progress I wanna replace that command with a JAVA code. Does anybody know how to do that in MATLAB? Thanks a lot

    The underlying `urlreadwrite` is based on Java already so you can look at how it works: `edit private/urlreadwrite`. By the way, Octave's version of [`urlwrite`](http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/URL-Manipulation.html#doc%2durlwrite) apparently supports some form of progress indication so maybe it's code would be useful. – horchler Dec 12 '13 at 19:08
  • You could check the size of the temp file to know the progress. – Joseph Lust May 05 '15 at 14:46
