Feb 16, 2023 at 7:04 comment added Eric Duminil Since it currently is the highest voted answer with non-deprecated code, it might be a good idea to show how to download binary files. .decode('utf-8') doesn't make sense for every file on the internet.

Oct 10, 2016 at 22:47 comment added Avia This does not work on windows with larger files. You need to read all blocks!

Apr 14, 2010 at 21:17 comment added Jason Sundram This won't work if there are spaces in the url you provide. In that case, you'll need to parse the url and urlencode the path.
