Hmm. Without having a chance to look at the code, I'm pretty sure there 
is something for that. If I remember correctly, the KeepaliveHandler 
holds onto a list of what may be active connections. There may even be 
a close_all method but I don't think you have a clean interface to call 
it since the Handler is managed by URLGrabber. I can probably take a 
peak at this later on tonight.
