+<longdescription>
+A high-level cross-protocol url-grabber.
+
+Using urlgrabber, data can be fetched in three basic ways:
+
+urlgrab(url) copy the file to the local filesystem
+urlopen(url) open the remote file and return a file object (like urllib2.urlopen)
+urlread(url) return the contents of the file as a string
+
+
+When using these functions (or methods), urlgrabber supports the following
+features:
+
+* identical behavior for http://, ftp://, and file:// urls
+* http keepalive - faster downloads of many files by using only a single
+ connection
+* byte ranges - fetch only a portion of the file
+* reget - for a urlgrab, resume a partial download
+* progress meters - the ability to report download progress automatically,
+ even when using urlopen!
+* throttling - restrict bandwidth usage
+* retries - automatically retry a download if it fails. The number of retries
+ and failure types are configurable.
+* authenticated server access for http and ftp
+* proxy support - support for authenticated http and ftp proxies
+* mirror groups - treat a list of mirrors as a single source, automatically
+ switching mirrors if there is a failure.
+</longdescription>
