Agreed, it sounds like an ssl bug. The only way I can think to avoid this problem is to do something like run all network stuff in a separate process (or thread), then for background downloads you don't display progress, whereas for foreground downloads you do. You could query the downloader for the file type to decide what to do with it, i.e. if it's text or html then it downloads in foreground automatically, otherwise we display a prompt. However this design is more complex than we need right now (though when we end up with asynchronous js etc, which we'll need some day because our current timer stuff just won't work in todays increasingly real-time web for much longer) we'll probably have to revisit this. Also, thanks for adding the toggle command for background downloads. Cheers, Adam.
