I'm guessing that http > is more reliable, and should be used instead of ftp? Well, I hate to say it, but I think that's probably true. The python http code (httplib) gets more love than ftplib. So in general, yes, http is a bit more stable and reliable. Also, it's a bit harder for us to test ftp stuff, which makes problems harder to track down. -Michael > On Mon, 9 Aug 2004, seth vidal wrote: > > >On Mon, 2004-08-09 at 09:21, David L.
