Yikes.. ancient stuff. What did you use to write the code... a typewriter? :p But seriously though, PHP has changed immensely since the 4.3 branch; it's very likely you'll run into complications simply because functions/features weren't available back in 4.3. Consider upgrading.

Is that possible
Sure, PHP is perfectly capable of downloading remote files via HTTP or FTP. For example, there's [man]file_get_contents/man and the [man]FTP[/man] extension.

It could, certainly. One way might be to use AJAX or a WebSocket to communicate with a separate PHP script on the server that returns a ratio of the size of the received data to the total size of the remote file. (Or you could simply have it output the current size periodically and let the client-side scripting take care of storing the total size and drawing/updating a progress meter.)
