Thanks for the help. The error handling worked to a certain extent but after a while the server does seem to stop responding to my requests.
I have a list of about 7,000 links to pages I want to parse the HTML of (it's basically a web crawler) but after a certain number of urlretrieve() or urlopen() calls the server just stops responding. Anyone know of a way to get around this? I don't own the server so I can't make any modifications on that side. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
