The tutorial demonstrates how to develop a generic file download function in Python and apply it to download multiple files with serial and parallel approaches. With a parallel file download routine, you can download multiple files simultaneously and save a considerable amount of time. This serial approach can work well with a few small files, but if you are downloading many files or large files, you’ll want to use a parallel approach to maximize your computational resources.


The easiest way to download files is using a simple Python loop to iterate through a list of URLs to download. There are several ways for automating file downloads in Python. Automating file downloads can save a lot of time.
