Use PsDownload module instead of Invoke-WebRequest

[JonathanPitre]

We may able to get the last modified date with this module which would allow us to get rid of the Adobe Acrobat FTP code and also add a bunch of other admx files that has no versioning.

Have a look and tell me what you think:
https://github.com/DanGough/PsDownload

The modified date will be updated once download has complete to match the Last-Modified header if found.

if technically possible an even better attempt in terms of performance would be using Start-BitsTransfer instead of

Invoke-WebRequest and no third party dependencies, too. would this help? @JonathanPitre

about Adobe also consider #37

[JonathanPitre]

I would copy the module code into a function instead of calling the module.

[Karl-WE]

Could you elaborate / file an example?

[JonathanPitre]

Sure, I would just copy the code from https://github.com/DanGough/PsDownload/blob/main/PsDownload/Public/Invoke-Download.ps1 and paste it into the functions list on top to avoid loading the module every time. The module is not updated too often anyways.

I recommend you read the PsDownload Readme, it's faster than Invoke-WebRequest and Start-BitsTransfer. It also fixes other known issues.

[Karl-WE]

Ah I see now. Well if start-bittransfer is technically suitable I would really try to stick with it, it is fast and certainly fast enough for the job. But it is up to you.
