I have had similar hang up in a slightly different case using

f=urllib2.urlopen(url).read()

The read() was stuck because the server did not accept to answer to a client
which had not cookie support. I don't know if it could explain the case with
urlretrieve().

I suggest you see if urllib2 + ClientCookie modules can cover your needs (
http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/ClientCookie/)

Hope this helps.

There isn't a general python limitation;  I have used urllib.urlretrieve
to automate the downloading of files as large as 50 MB with
python2.2.2/freebsd 4.3.  Can't comment about Solaris, tho.
