for data in tqdm(response.iter_content(chunk_size=1024), unit='kB'): will download and write the file in chunk, and show the correct unit in the progress bar.

| Oct 4, 2018 at 15:58 | comment | added | hughdbrown | @lindhe Are you using a python version earlier than 2.7? If not, you should be able to run requests on any version you come across. | |

I think a chunk_size argument is desirable along with stream=True. The default chunk_size is 1, which means, each chunk could be as small as 1 byte and so is very inefficient.

@Ali: r.text: For text or unicode content. Returned as unicode. r.content: For binary content. Returned as bytes. Read about it here: docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/quickstart

What would be the difference between r.content and r.text?

Add sample with tqdm progress bar usage

| Nov 15, 2013 at 16:36 | comment | added | Harel | Why would a url library need to have a file unzip facility? Read the file from the url, save it and then unzip it in whatever way floats your boat. Also a zip file is not a 'folder' like it shows in windows, Its a file. | |

@kvance: I did not know that. This option became known as stream in v1.0.0, AFAICT. It seems to have been prefetch in earlier versions, but I have not dug into the source code enough. Try: git clone [email protected]:kennethreitz/requests.git && git log -S"self.stream" --source --all

| Jul 28, 2013 at 17:14 | comment | added | kvance | It is possible to stream large files by setting stream=True in the request. You can then call iter_content() on the response to read a chunk at a time. | |
| Dec 17, 2012 at 16:05 | comment | added | Bibek Shrestha | How does this handle large files, does everything get stored into memory or can this be written to a file without large memory requirement? | |
