I need to get a text file off the internet and need to know if I can use the StreamReader to do so.

This is what I've tried:

Try
sreStreamReader = IO.File.OpenText("http://www.blhsdrama.cjb.cc/item.txt")

Any suggestions on how do this

Try using the HttpWebRequest class. Check out the documentation and some samples here:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest.aspx

You should be able to do:

Dim req As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://www.microsoft.com/")
Dim response As WebResponse = req.GetResponse()
Dim stream As StreamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
