    except:
        frac = 0
    print "Downloaded %d/%d (%0.2f%%)" % (existing, total, frac)

def curl_limit_rate(url, filename, rate_limit):
    """Rate limit in bytes"""
    import pycurl
    c = pycurl.Curl()
    c.setopt(c.URL, url)
    c.setopt(c.MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE, rate_limit)
    if os.path.exists(filename):
        file_id = open(filename, "ab")
        c.setopt(c.RESUME_FROM, os.path.getsize(filename))
    else:
        file_id = open(filename, "wb")

    c.setopt(c.WRITEDATA, file_id)
    c.setopt(c.NOPROGRESS, 0)
    c.setopt(c.PROGRESSFUNCTION, curl_progress)
    c.perform()
