Here's mine:

$ cat retriever.py
import urllib.request
import os

def report(*args):
    print(args)

url = "http://softlayer.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxwindows/wxMSW-2.8.10.zip"
filename = url.rsplit("/")[-1]

urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename=filename, reporthook=report)
print(os.path.getsize(filename))
$

If you had shown your code in the first place the problem might have been solved by now...
