title: Python requests or urllib read timeout, URL encoding issue?
body: <p>I'm trying to download a file from within Python, I've tried urllib and requests and both give me a timeout error. The file is at: <a href="http://www.prociv.pt/cnos/HAI/Setembro/Inc%C3%AAndios%20Rurais%20-%20Hist%C3%B3rico%20do%20Dia%2029SET.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.prociv.pt/cnos/HAI/Setembro/Incêndios%20Rurais%20-%20Histórico%20do%20Dia%2029SET.pdf</a></p>
  
  <p>Using requests:</p>
  
  <pre><code>r = requests.get('http://www.prociv.pt/cnos/HAI/Setembro/Incêndios%20Rurais%20-%20Histórico%20do%20Dia%2029SET.pdf',timeout=60.0)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Using urllib:</p>
  
  <pre><code>urllib.urlretrieve('http://www.prociv.pt/cnos/HAI/Setembro/Incêndios%20Rurais%20-%20Histórico%20do%20Dia%2029SET.pdf','the.pdf')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried different URLs, such as:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://www.prociv.pt/cnos/HAI/Setembro/Inc%C3%AAndios%20Rurais%20-%20Hist%C3%B3rico%20do%20Dia%2029SET.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.prociv.pt/cnos/HAI/Setembro/Incêndios Rurais - Histórico do Dia 29SET.pdf</a></li>
  <li><a href="http://www.prociv.pt/cnos/HAI/Setembro/Inc%C3%AAndios%20Rurais%20-%20Hist%C3%B3rico%20do%20Dia%2029SET.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.prociv.pt/cnos/HAI/Setembro/Inc%C3%AAndios%20Rurais%20-%20Hist%C3%B3rico%20do%20Dia%2029SET.pdf</a></li>
  <li><a href="http://www.prociv.pt/cnos/HAI/Setembro/Inc%C3%AAndios%20Rurais%20-%20Hist%C3%B3rico%20do%20Dia%2029SET.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.prociv.pt/cnos/HAI/Setembro/Incêndios%20Rurais%20-%20Histórico%20do%20Dia%2029SET.pdf</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>And, I can download it using the browser and also with cURL using the following syntax:</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl http://www.prociv.pt/cnos/HAI/Setembro/Inc%C3%AAndios%20Rurais%20-%20Hist%C3%B3rico%20do%20Dia%2029SET.pdf
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I'm suspecting it's an encoding issue, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Clarity.</p>
