How to copy a database using python urllib2 without getting an Error 500?
<p>I would like to copy on my computer a database which is hosted on a <a href="http://archive.unctad.org/iia-dbcases/cases.aspx" rel="nofollow">website</a>.</p>

<p>I have tried to use python urllib2 and to make a loop to open each link and write a file with the page content. It works perfectly for the first hundred links approximately, and then I get an Error 500 and it seems that the website is also down (runtime error).</p>

<p>Is it due to a security mechanism in the database ? Is there a trick to avoid it ?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
