Description: 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.
