Dalai, Bart, and Daniel,
Thanks for the help. I'm planning on rewriting my add-on after its next
release (of course recycling old work) because it has a lot of areas
which I'd like to improve before I ask for any type of code review.
Anyway, I should now be able to implement a much better download system
for my rewritten add-on, which will be a lot nicer for users than the
current one, so thanks again for your advice and suggestions.

Hello,
I think a modal operator is the way to go, yes. Take a look at my
"Carnegie Mellon University Mocap Library Browser", and see how I
solved the same problem.
It is marked as broken, and I can't fix it in the next weeks. But if
it doesn't work for you, use an older Blender version. Or just look at
the code.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Peter,
I had a similar problem when writing an exporter for Sketchfab.
The uploading part to their website can take a long time
(depending on the filesize) and during that time Blender froze. I
solved that by using threading.
The basic idea is to do the up/downloading in a separate thread.
Then I added a timer and a modal operator which is set to
PASS_THROUGH. Every time the modal operator is called from the
timer, it checks if the up/downloading thread is still alive. If
not (because it's finished or experienced an error), it sets in
motion the further actions that need to be taken.
For an example, you can take a look at the Sketchfab add-on code*,
specifically the ExportSketchfab operator class (approximately
line 250).
Best,
Bart
