Hello, I have made a short program that given an url will download all referenced files on that url.
It works, but I'm thinking it could use some optimization since it's very slow. I create a list of tuples where each tuple consist of the url to the file and the path to where I want to save it. E.g (http://somewhere.com/foo.mp3, c:\Music\foo.mp3) The downloading part (which is the part I need help with) looks like this: def GetFiles(): """do the actual copying of files""" for url,path in hreflist: print(url,end=" ") srcdata = urlopen(url).read() dstfile = open(path,mode='wb') dstfile.write(srcdata) dstfile.close() print("Done!") hreflist if the list of tuples. at the moment the print(url,end=" ") will not be printed before the actual download, instead it will be printed at the same time as print("Done!"). This I would like to have the way I intended. Is downloading a binary file using: srcdata = urlopen(url).read() the best way? Is there some other way that would speed up the downloading? // Anders -- English is not my first or second language so any error or insult are done in the translation!
