Thank you both for your help. Threads are working for me. However, a new problem for me is that the url I want to download are in an xml file (I want to download podcasts), and is not the same as the file downloaded: http://www.sciam.com/podcast/podcast.mp3?e_id=86102326-0B1F-A3D4-74B2BBD61E9ECD2C&ref=p_rss will be redirected to download: http://podcast.sciam.com/daily/sa_d_podcast_080307.mp3 is there a way, knowing the first url to get the second at runtime in my script ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
