Downloading a file help?

Scripting Issues
1

So currently I’m using WGET windows python to download a file, but most of the times it gives me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "PhaseUpdater.py", line 107, in <module>
  File "PhaseUpdater.py", line 103, in updatewget
  File "C:\Panda3D-1.8.1\python\lib\site-packages\wget.py", line 310, in downloa
d
    (tmpfile, headers) = urllib.urlretrieve(url, tmpfile, callback)
  File "C:\Panda3D-1.8.1\python\lib\urllib.py", line 93, in urlretrieve
    return _urlopener.retrieve(url, filename, reporthook, data)
  File "C:\Panda3D-1.8.1\python\lib\urllib.py", line 283, in retrieve
    "of %i bytes" % (read, size), result)
urllib.ContentTooShortError: retrieval incomplete: got only 26009689 out of 4536
3238 bytes
Press any key to continue . . .

So I made it try to do that, then except anything ( I wanted to do a ContentTooShortError but it wouldn’t do it ) and in the except statement I use ramfile and httpclient to download a file. But it won’t run the except statement because it’s already doing it, what should I do? (Please provide either a solution to the try-except or the ContentTooShortError, thanks! :smiley: )

What is your goal? There may be a better solution than wget depending on what you are doing.

Downloading a large-ish multifile from my website. I tried downloading via FTP but it didn’t work, and also a few different ways of urllib (and urllib2)
