Download some http library from sourceforge.net , use the apis to open http connection, get data, close http connection. I hope it is not your homework/project assignment .
I think PHP would be most suitable for something like this but you could do this with VB, it's so easy to connect to the internet. The reason I think that PHP will be a good call is because you can store information in a mysql database regarding sites and what not.
Java is very powerful for this sort of thing. The java.net.* classes and in particular the HttpURLConnection. Java requires some time and effort to learn, but it is very powerful. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/urls/connecting.html
