My program retrieves web pages, but sometimes it hangs in get(). Should I
do in this case?
Unless you can repeat it reliably, it's probably network congestion leading to
extended downloading times. Even if you were responsible for the code in
get(), there isn't much you can do about slow downloads due to network traffic.
On the other hand, if you can hang get reliably (and that includes at many
different times of the day), then it's probably a error in my code, and you
should tell me the circumstances so I can fix it.
