Hey guys, try using urlretrieve() in Python 3.0.1 on the following
URL:

http://softlayer.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxwindows/wxMSW-2.8.1....

Have it save the ZIP to any destination directory. For me, this only
downloads about 40KB before it stops without any error at all. Any
reason why this isn't working?

I could not reproduce it. I downloaded about 300K without error  (Python
3.0.1 on Windows)

Can you show me your test code please?

Here's mine:

$ cat retriever.py
import urllib.request
import os

def report(*args):
    print(args)

url = "http://softlayer.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxwindows/wxMSW-2.8.1...";
filename = url.rsplit("/")[-1]

urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename=filename, reporthook=report)
print(os.path.getsize(filename))
$

If you had shown your code in the first place the problem might have been solved by now...

Well I did not post the code because it is fairly complex and its hard
to give you the whole picture without giving you too much code. But
here you go, you get what you ask for:


def Download( self ):
PrintSubStatus( 'Downloading...' )
destination = normalize( '{0}/{1}'.format( self._info.outdir,
self._info.file_ext ) )
print( self._info.url )
print( destination )
urlretrieve( self._info.url, destination )

Both print statements are shown as below:
http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxwindows/mxMSW-2.8.10.zip
D:\IT\personal\haresvn\temp\mxMSW-2.8.10.zip

I really can't figure out why this isn't working.
