1. Yes, the main loop and async_wget etc. APIs are not related. Although, you might want to pause the main loop while waiting, but whether that makes sense for the app depends on the app.
2. Yes, still true. 3. I'm not sure how to check if a file exists remotely aside from trying to load it and seeing if it succeeds. In other words, you can just see if you get the async_wget error callback? No architecture issue. But given that, you might want to pause the main loop until all the data you need for the main loop arrives.
