Add option:
-A "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.01; Windows NT 5.0)"
to curl to emulate browser if normal download gives error 503 (service unavailable).

MIToS 2.0 introduces a download_file in the Utils module. download_file calls the get_streaming function of the Requests package using the same keyword arguments. So, you can use the header argument to set the user agent using a Dict. That keyword argument will be also available in downloadpdb, because that function calls download_file. So, the following line does is going to do the magic in the future release of MIToS (2.1.1) ;)
downloadpdb("1IVO", headers=Dict("User-Agent" => "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.01; Windows NT 5.0)"))
