That's right the :sh command calls the command syncron, to allow to display the return value in input box. For the downloader that I started in the new branch, the call a asyncron so that vimb does not concern how long the task is running. I should make a notice in the man page about the :sh command. And to keep is usable we should have an asyncron shell command too. I looked through the vim help pages, but it seems that the vim :sh command is only available as syncron command. That means we have to find the command name or syntax for ourself. My suggestion would be ':sh[ellcmd]!' with a bang to make it asyncron. > > I'm still undecided which way we should go.

I think we should use both ways for download, the actual webkit based download and the external tool, and set the default config to use the webkit based one.
