I already have some code on the go I just couldn't figure out the best way to do what I wanted to do so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone could point me in the right direction. I *have* to download them, i know how many there are because I used a text editor to find them.

Personally, I use the mailing list:

https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You can sign up by email, read the emails, respond to emails.
Alternatively, look for a news client for your platform - Mozilla
Thunderbird is a popular option.

Downloading the hashes from the web site depends a bit on how they're
formatted. Do you get a plain text file with one per line? Are they
given in hex? How is it all laid out?
