KDOT troubles

The Kansas Department of Transportation website is having some kind of issue today. The site would barely open for me this morning and continues to be sluggish at the time of this post. This poses a major problem for my Web cam project script, since it uses most of the pictures from KDOT's site.

I started the script 5 minutes ago and it is just now two-thirds done. Usually it only takes my computer a couple of minutes tops to finish the entire thing.

Obviously this issue is a bit out of my hands so hopefully the fine folks at KDOT get the site back up to full speed soon.

If you are trying to run the script and just want to skip past one of the KDOT cameras, hit (Ctrl-C) and it will ask you "Terminate Batch job (Y/N)?". Hit Y then (Return) and the entire script will stop. N (Return) it will advance to the next URL2File line.
