I am having problems with pycurl in my threads , when i run it , it does correctly but some times the
connection has been established but nothing will be downloaded and the threads stay alive without
doing any thing (especially when the network's speed is slow and has aborted status) .
i can't use TIMEOUT because i don't have the max time for downloading
how can i solve this problem in python
So you want to wait hours/days/years for a failed download? You should always set a
timeout that is sane. If you anticipate network slowness, then set your timeout to
something larger like 2-3 minutes. IIRC, the timeout only affects connection
establishment so that will not help out your use case but I want to emphasize
that you always want a timeout to be set.
Pycurl has an option for LOW_SPEED_LIMIT/LOW_SPEED_TIME which should allow you to set
a minimum transfer speed which will abort the transfer. This should solve your problem
where the connection is created but nothing is being downloaded.
