So you vote for option one. > I'd queue up the files to be downloaded and > download one at a time.

Downloads vary from about 10K in size, so they could certainly be latency limited ( on wifi or 3G) instead of bandwidth limited, which is why the question comes up. Maybe not all 20 at once, but maybe two or three at a time would use the bandwidth more effectively. Then again, maybe not. >Also, have you considered what happens if all 20 downloads get halted right in >the middle? That's bad. Another scenario is that user interaction makes some or all of the files no longer needed. I think I will need at least one more thread, though. The background thread is not very responsive to the cancel situation, since it does block for some time on a download. Nathan
