    What is the actual return value of `URLDownloadToFile()`? Note that `URLDownloadToFile()` is very unreliable and lacks good error reporting. Consider switching to WinInet/WinHTTP instead, or any other HTTP library, for that matter. – Remy Lebeau Oct 31 '17 at 21:55
  • You should add tags with more information. If you *just* have the C++ tag, it looks like you’re asking about generic C++, when [`URLDownloadToFile`](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms775123(v=vs.85).aspx) appears to be Microsoft-specific. – Daniel H Oct 31 '17 at 21:57
  • I expect that the issue is you don’t have permission to write to `C:\text.txt` as whatever user you’re running your program from, but I definitely don’t have enough information to be confident in that. – Daniel H Oct 31 '17 at 21:59
  • Thanks everyone.. I solved it – Blooze Amazon Oct 31 '17 at 22:35

fixed it with

URLDownloadToFile( NULL, "https://pastebin.com/raw/Q91mE8Qe/index.html", "C:/text.txt", 0, NULL);

I just forgot to include /index.html
