Generally this just means the connection has closed through some unusual means, perhaps by being turned off, or a network cable being unplugged, or a timeout along the way, etc. 5% is a high figure, but perhaps you connect to hosts that are unreliable for some reason. You don't have control over this really; just make sure you handle the exception. Such is life, when dealing with networking. -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
