corrupt download with urllib2

[Ulli Horlacher]

I am currently developing a program which should run on Linux and Windows.
Later it shall be compiled with PyInstaller. Therefore I am using Python 2.7

My program must download http://fex.belwue.de/download/7za.exe

I am using this code:

    sz = path.join(fexhome,'7za.exe')
    szurl = "http://fex.belwue.de/download/7za.exe"

   try:
      szo = open(sz,'w')
    except (IOError,OSError) as e:
      die('cannot write %s - %s' % (sz,e.strerror))
    import urllib2
    printf("\ndownloading %s\n",szurl)
    try:
      req = urllib2.Request(szurl)
      req.add_header('User-Agent',useragent)
      u = urllib2.urlopen(req)
    except urllib2.URLError as e:
      die('cannot get %s - %s' % (szurl,e.reason))
    except urllib2.HTTPError as e:
      die('cannot get %s - server reply: %d %s' % (szurl,e.code,e.reason))
    if u.getcode() == 200:
      print(u.read(),file=szo,end='')
      szo.close()
    else:
      die('cannot get %s - server reply: %d' % (szurl,u.getcode()))

It works with Linux, but not with Windows 7, where the downloaded 7za.exe is
corrupt: it has the wrong size, 589044 instead of 587776 Bytes.

Where is my error?
