Thank you for your answer!
I get 200 OK status codes (I think after I get one 404 first) and it does seem like some (pieces of) data are sent (as tcpflow was printing data when the requests were failing - even when I started tcpflow after the failing requests started).
Network.Download gives back the following error: Left "Failed to connect: Not Found"
I have attached my code.


Best regards,

Stéphane

I have tried the Network.Download library in order to download CSV files from Yahoo Finance, but after the 10th download every next download fails. Does Network.Download keep connections open? I did consume the result of the openURI function (even with deepseq). Any ideas?

Can you get any details about why/how it fails? It could well be something as simple as Yahoo throttling you for too many connections in too short a time or something; in that case, the error from Yahoo should indicate it, but if all you get back is a 4xx or 5xx code then it won't be obvious. (Which may well mean something like running it under strace with +RTS -V0 to see the actual error returned.)
