Currently I am executing the following code: import os import urllib.request
def Download(rfile, lfile): retval = False if os.path.isfile(lfile): lsize = os.stat(lfile).st_size else: lsize = 0 req = urllib.request.Request(rfile) req.add_header('Range', "bytes={}-".format(lsize)) with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as response, open(lfile, 'ab') as out_file: data = response.read() # a `bytes` object out_file.write(data) if response.headers.headers['Content-Length'] == os.stat(lfile).st_size: retval = True return retval Download('http://video.hrt.hr/2906/otv296.mp4', 'otv296.mp4') The internet connection here is very slow so execution will last for say an hour. In meantime, can I upgrade the procedure in a way to write to file chunk by chunk instead of the whole file? Furthermore, how to know whether the file is fully completed or not? I trid with "if response.headers.headers['Content-Length'] == os.stat(lfile).st_size:", but I believe there is a better way. Big regards. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
