Inno Setup: Check if component was previously downloaded

Question

I don't know, if, what I'm asking for, it is possible, but anyway, here I go:

I have the following code that uses Inno Download Plugin:

procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
begin
  if CurPageID = wpReady then
  begin
    idpClearFiles;
    if IsComponentSelected('src') then
    begin
      idpAddFile(
        'https://cool-opensource-project.googlecode.com/files/prj-sources-1.2.3.zip',
        ExpandConstant('{tmp}\src.zip'));
    end;
  end;
end;

and I'd like to check, if the file is already downloaded in a folder before downloading it again, and if it is not, to download it.

Thanks in advanced.

You can check whether the file exists by the FileExists function. In your case it would be like:

procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
var
  FileName: string;
begin
  if CurPageID = wpReady then
  begin
    idpClearFiles;
    { better use a local variable to avoid expanding the same path twice }
    FileName := ExpandConstant('{tmp}\src.zip');
    { if the component item is checked and file does not exist yet, enqueue it }
    if IsComponentSelected('src') and not FileExists(FileName) then
    begin
      idpAddFile(
        'https://cool-opensource-project.googlecode.com/files/prj-sources-1.2.3.zip',
        FileName);
    end;
  end;
end;
