well yes its possible to use the file class that way. BUT the thing thats going in my mind is thread safety. i plan to start each part of the file download in a different thread. and then when each thread had downloaded more than 100kb (or eof or boundary reached) write the buffer to the disk. can this be achieved using mutex ? i have never shared objects between threads. is there a way to write this without using threads at all ??? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
