I'm trying to downloading this JSON file onto my computer, but however it stops short. It ends after the 8192th character and goes no longer. Otherwise it works fine, any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Also is this the correct way to download a webpages source, can someone give me some better techniques on that to help me along?

Answer 1

You're forgetting to close the BufferedWriter :-)

in.close();
bw.close(); // Add this here
System.out.println("Finished with no errors...");

So the Writter can commit the rest of the data stream to the file
