Sourceforge is (un)helpfully redirecting your request and Python is (un)helpfully following. I looks like you can avoid this by using a URLopener instead of the FancyURLopener implicitly used by urlretrieve(): >>> URLopener().retrieve("http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxwindows/mxMSW-2.8.10.zip", filename="tmp.zip") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.0/urllib/request.py", line 1476, in retrieve fp = self.open(url, data) File "/usr/lib/python3.0/urllib/request.py", line 1444, in open return getattr(self, name)(url) File "/usr/lib/python3.0/urllib/request.py", line 1622, in open_http return self._open_generic_http(http.client.HTTPConnection, url, data) File "/usr/lib/python3.0/urllib/request.py", line 1618, in _open_generic_http response.status, response.reason, response.msg, data) File "/usr/lib/python3.0/urllib/request.py", line 1638, in http_error return self.http_error_default(url, fp, errcode, errmsg, headers) File "/usr/lib/python3.0/urllib/request.py", line 1644, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(url, errcode, errmsg, headers, None) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 302: Found Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
