Hi,

I am very new to this but I am writing an addon where I have some videos on my server and I want to download them.

I read about SimpleDownloader where I can give it a URL and the destination file path to download the video to a drive.

However, whenever I try to run downloader.download("my_video.mp4", params) it waits for it to finish before I can do anything else on the addon.

Can anyone please advise how can I use SimpleDownloader so that I can create a queue for all the downloads and still use the addon.

Right now it kind of waits and shows "Working" at the bottom right hand corner and shows [1] download in progress. But I can't do anything other than wait.

Please help...........
