I concur with Christian. For the most part, the standard library aims to be a collection of resources helpful for building applications like curl and wget. The applications themselves should live on the Python Package Index (PyPI). Also, as Christian points out, this is a non-trivial project with a large scope.

This is a simpler request and is within our scope; however, I not sure how it differs from the existing functionality in urllib.request.urlretrieve(). Can you clarify what extra functionality is being requested?
