I foundd this code in ASPN Python Cookbook for downloading files in
python but when it finished downloading files the files became
corrupted and didn't open, the files in internet havn't any problem:
def download(url,fi leName):
"""Copy the contents of a file from a given URL
to a local file.
"""
import urllib
webFile = urllib.urlopen( url)
localFile = open(fileName, 'w')
localFile.write (webFile.read() )
webFile.close()
localFile.close ()
download('http://www.2shared.com/download/1839752/cd520048/

I'm guessing there are binary files and you are running on Windows,
which is inserting a carriage return before ebery newline. Try
localFile = open(fileName, 'wb')
to avoid thus behavior.

Try 'wb' instead of 'w'.

Uhhh...you probably need to change the open() command to binary mode.
Replace that line with this:
localFile = open(fileName, mode='wb')
I tried it on my PC to download a photo from one of my sites and it
worked great.

It works but could you explain more what's wrong with just 'w'?

On Unix-like systems newline means '\n'
On Window newline means '\r\n'
So, when you open a file on Window with 'w' option, Win replace
downloaded '\n' with a local '\r\n' and the file isn't readable. If you
use 'wb' you say that you want a binary copy ('b' option) and Win doesn't
replace anything.
Hope it is useful,
bye

Hmm, I thought I had. 'b' stand for 'binary', and the system sends out
exactly the bytes you right. Without the 'b' it assumes you are handling
text, so Windows "CR/LF" line endings are converted to "LF" or reading,
and "LF" is converted to "CR/LF" on writing.

I am having problem while downloading files from an apache server2.0.53
with php4.3.10.While downloading some files it generally stops after
