In the send side : You may want to use sendfile and here is python package for same http://pypi.python.org/pypi/py-sendfile/1.2.3 In the receive side : You may want to use splice (Linux 2.6.17 onwards) - Just read from a network fd and write to a file fd I just assumed you are using Linux.:-) Thanks -Saswat -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
