My GAE application fetches a web page, and it works fine when I run it
on a development server on my PC.
However, when it's deployed to GAE, urlfetch fails with DownloadError
(ApplicationError: 2 ).

Repeating fetches doesn't help, further attempts fail within 0.05..0.6
seconds from each other, so it's not a timeout problem.
The server from which I try to fetch a page is also available when
there are problems.

This happens in periods, so sometimes everything works fine:
21:30 to 22:20 UTC 29 August - not working
14:20 to 18:15 UTC 29 August - works OK
04:00 to 05:30 UTC 29 August - not working
around 02:20 UTC 29 August - works OK
20:00 28 Aug to 00:15 UTC 29 August - not working


Any advice or explanation of this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Can you post the URL that you are trying to fetch from?
