I thought I would post the source to a program that I made that will
download the http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/
as soon as its posted.

It checks the site every 10 min time.sleep(600)

This is mostly untested so I would appreciate comments, and if you use
it, post that too! :)
<code>

import time
import urllib

mysock = urllib.urlopen("http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/
gutsy/ubunt
u-7.10-desktop-i386.iso")
#print mysock
while 1:
    image = mysock.read()
    if image[0:1]!='<':
        oFile = open(r"image.iso",'wb')
        oFile.write(image)
        oFile.close
        break
        exit
    print "Wait ", time.localtime()
    time.sleep(600)


</code>

enjoy,
