Ok, this seems to work "fine" (as much as a program designed to be 
minimalistic can do) except it can't download files larger than 10kb.

It looks like a problem with SimpleXMLRPCServer (or at least I think so...)

While trying to download file larger than 10kb the server itself doesn't 
crash but generates output like this:


----------------------------------------
Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 44817)

The client that was trying to make a download generates this:

Should I post this in a separate thread or maybe one of experts visiting 
this group will take a look and hopefully solve my problem?

Thank you in advance.
