         .Open "GET", UrlFile, False
         .setRequestHeader "Upgrade-Insecure-Requests", "1"
         .setRequestHeader "Sec-Fetch-Dest", "document"
         .send

Public Function DownloadFile()

Dim myURL As String
myURL = "https://www1.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2020/MAR/cm13MAR2020bhav.csv.zip"

Dim WinHttpReq As Object
Set WinHttpReq = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
WinHttpReq.Open "GET", myURL, False
WinHttpReq.send

If WinHttpReq.Status = 200 Then
    Set oStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
    oStream.Open
    oStream.Type = 1
    oStream.Write WinHttpReq.responseBody
    oStream.SaveToFile "C:\Users\praburaj\Downloads\file.zip", 2 ' 1 = no overwrite, 2 = overwrite
    oStream.Close
End If

End Function
