>>> 
urllib2.urlopen('http://www.fanfiction.net/s/636805/10/').read() 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? 
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/socket.py", line 285, in read 
    data = self._sock.recv(recv_size) 
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 456, in read
