Comment 2 for bug 293132

19:19 < Ng> RainCT: I just downloaded the file and unzipped it and I can read it fine?
19:20 < Ng> I just used gunzip and less
19:21 < RainCT> Ng: right, nevermind. Seems it was just a problem with how I downloaded it, and I've just found a
                way that works :)
19:21 < Ng> I would assume that the file takes a little while to generate, so maybe it's a case of grabbing it
            before it's ready
19:21 < Ng> ah
19:22 < RainCT> tmpfile.write(urllib2.urlopen(popcon_url).read()) failed to get the complete file, but now I've
                found out about urllib.urlretrieve(popcon_url, tmpfile.name) which works
19:23 < RainCT> there's still the problem of inst not being there
19:24 < RainCT> eg, the file contains «Package: tar 63901 885477 23056 135», but the website shows «18 tar 972569 63901 885477 23056 135 (Bdale Garbee)», where the 972569 is the number of people who
                installed the package
19:25 < RainCT> ah, but that is 885477+63901+23056, so nevermind too :P
