Path from URL not from C:/ Drive - vb.net

Question

I found one code which auto-change proxies from own text file located in computer.
Now I would like to rather this get path from my own URL where I store my private list of proxies, so what I have to change in the code please? and could also someone explain why? thank you.

Maybe just download your url to the FILE_NAME location in your form's load event. Be warned that if there is a file at FILE_NAME, this sub I provide you will overwrite it.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim YourURL As String = "http://www.yoururl.com/filename.ext"
Using w As New System.Net.WebClient
w.DownloadFile(YourURL, FILE_NAME)
End Using
End Sub
