The difference comes from the simple fact biodb2 has got an XML-RPC
server listening on the TCP port 5000 whereas there is nothing
listening on that port on biodb :-) The latter has just got a regular
Web server on port 80, used to serve downloadable files.

That said, I find it rather interesting your second example actually
causes anything to be downloaded rather than having Pygr complain about
the resource being unavailable -
'http://biodb.bioinformatics.ucla.edu:5000' is not a valid worldbase
resource and last time I checked, the "download from here" path was not
hardcoded. Maybe it's because your current working directory is not
clean (you delete ~/.pygr_data but not ./.pygr_data).
