Aha, so the first param is the file, and second is the name you save
the files as. Thankyou, for pointing out my stupid mistake. I was
confused by trying to replicate a program called 'comicdownloader.py'
off of uselesspython.com. I thought that the first param was the page
containing the file, and the second was the file. And that the file
would simply be saved as it's name on the website. Thanks again.
