As I mentioned in my previous post, the other threads will also have to go through the same "zip the file if the download was successful" method. I implemented it but am seeing some issues. If I use a single thread, all files are zipped to the archive. Obviously this has to work. If threads are 2 or 3 or 4 in numbers, some of the files don't show up in the archive. What would a thread do (which wants to add files to an archive) if it finds that another thread has opened the archive in append mode ? Will it wait, overwrite or just die ? Looking at the way my program is behaving, it looks like at that condition the threads are skipping/dying or something like that. Ritesh -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
