 <longdescription>
		A high-level cross-protocol url-grabber.

		Using urlgrabber, data can be fetched in three basic ways:

		urlgrab(url) copy the file to the local filesystem
		urlopen(url) open the remote file and return a file object (like urllib2.urlopen)
		urlread(url) return the contents of the file as a string


		When using these functions (or methods), urlgrabber supports the following
		features:

		* identical behavior for http://, ftp://, and file:// urls
		* http keepalive - faster downloads of many files by using only a single
		connection
		* byte ranges - fetch only a portion of the file
		* reget - for a urlgrab, resume a partial download
		* progress meters - the ability to report download progress automatically,
		even when using urlopen!
		* throttling - restrict bandwidth usage
		* retries - automatically retry a download if it fails. The number of retries
		and failure types are configurable.
		* authenticated server access for http and ftp
		* proxy support - support for authenticated http and ftp proxies
		* mirror groups - treat a list of mirrors as a single source, automatically
		switching mirrors if there is a failure.
