If a file is big enough to want to resume the download once, you almost certainly want to be able to resume it a second time. I would recommend not attempting to do the entire read and write as a single operation - read chunks and write them to the disk. This will attempt to read the entire response into a gigantic in-memory bytestring, and only then start writing. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
