You have high CPU usage because you use sync methods. Use Async and you'll have the best CPU usage. You probably don't need multithreading at all. The component will download your files in the bacground without using any thread.
To have the component work in a thread, you _must_ create it dynamically from the thread's execute method. If you don't, the component event will be handled by the main thread and your worker thread will almost do nothing :-) I don't understand what you don't understand about message loops within threads. -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
