Try with urllib.urlretrieve from standard lib: urllib.urlretrieve(url[, filename[, reporthook[, data]]])¶ Copy a network object denoted by a URL to a local file, if necessary. If the URL points to a local file, or a valid cached copy of the object exists, the object is not copied. Return a tuple (filename, headers) where filename is the local file name under which the object can be found, and headers is whatever the info() method of the object returned by urlopen() returned (for a remote object, possibly cached). Exceptions are the same as for urlopen(). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
