[Bug 311473] [NEW] Should give better error messages if don't have bandwidth

[Shirish Agarwal]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pastebinit

Hi all, 
 This is the output pastebinit gives 

$ pastebinit syslog
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pastebinit", line 261, in <module>
    page = url_opener.open(website, params) #Send the informations and be redirected to the final page
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 192, in open
    return getattr(self, name)(url, data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 325, in open_http
    h.endheaders()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 860, in endheaders
    self._send_output()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 732, in _send_output
    self.send(msg)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 699, in send
    self.connect()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 667, in connect
    socket.SOCK_STREAM):
IOError: [Errno socket error] (-2, 'Name or service not known')

The actual error is there is not enough bandwidth to upload the files.

What it should give is an error that a user can understand.
