urlgrabber does indeed claim to do persistent connections in a way at least somewhat integrated with urllib2. I think I must have imagined there being an NTLM impl. for urllib2, because ISTR you're right about needing a persistent connection. I don't think it's too hard to fix urllib2 to reuse connections, but I forget exactly why it doesn't do it already... John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
