    Temporarily handle "IOError: invalid data stream"
    
    Seems like urllib2 is not doing the best of the jobs when downloading
    data over a very slow network.
    I am not very sure as to what would be causing an "invalid data stream"
    corruption of the data.
    Is it something wrong at my end ? Or something wrong that Python is
    doing? Or maybe something just plain wrong with the network ?
    
    Needs investigation.
