Problem with urllib.urlretrieve

[ralobao]

Hi,

i am doing a program to download all images from an specified site.
it already works with most of the sites, but in some cases like:
www.slashdot.org it only download 1kb of the image. This 1kb is a html
page with a 503 error.

What can i make to really get those images ?

Thanks

I did something like this a while ago. I used websucker.py in the
Tools/ directory. And then added some conditionals to tell it to only
create files for certain extentions.

As to why it fails in your case, (/me puts on psychic hat) I guessing
slashdot does something to stop people from deep-linking their image
files to stop leeches.
