Or, as someone pointed out when I posted similar code a while back, you can
do the whole thing with a single call:

import urllib
urllib.urlretrieve( 'http://www.foo.com/bar.mp3', 'bar.mp3' )

See the documentation for urllib.urlretrieve for additional information,
especially the optional reporthook argument that lets you provide a callback
function so you can display the progress for a long file.
