Is it better to split up classes or create larger classes?

Just wondering what the Treehouse community thought about this. I'm debating breaking down a class into separate classes and therefore files. The class has to do with retrieving, parsing and storing data from a particular website, but I was thinking about breaking it down further by breaking these actions up.

So, instead of one big class that includes everything, I'll break it up by functions that retrieve data, parse data and store the data.

Thoughts?
