My simple-minded approach is to use whatever comes with my distro, but keep up with the updates. I am using FC5 and python-2.4.3-8.FC5. 2.5 is recently out but I'll probably wait (eg for FC6 or whatever). The page http://www.python.org/download/releases/ leads to nice "What's New.." articles, (authoritatively and well-) written by Andrew Kuchling. = = = Re diagnosing/debugging your problem: - When client 1 "hangs" -- does that mean it eventually succeeds after a delay (your 90 sec reference?)? - What is your clients' & server environments? - Does the behavior change if you reverse the client roles? If you do both client steps from the same host? - Do you have access to the server to do some poking around, or is it a limited-access hosted thingy? eg, can you monitor (via say netstat) the server end? - Can the whole mess be run on another machine or set of machines? - Can you substitute still another get-prog? perl (perl-libwww-perl) has a nice GET. Or lftpget (which has nice -v and -d options). Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
