Hi Tom, Yeah, that's a good idea even if I don't see how it could be less stalling relative to using another thread. The thing that scare me though is the InstallApacheFlex.mxml is more than 2200 lines long, using chunks would either make it grow up or I would have to split it in pieces, I really want to try to be unobtrusive as much as I can and as Nick said, if we use chunks, it will be the overhead of managing them and glue them together at the end creating more complexity.
On the other side, using worker creates more complexity too to make it work for Linux, I started to have a look at the AS3-Worker-Compat, I'm not sure it could fit my needs yet, I need to dig into more. So, at the end, I'm not sure what solution is the best, maybe you already have experiences with chunk download or even a lib that abstracts the chunk usage and want to share it with us though ?

You can chunk the download on the main thread to prevent (too much) stalling, and it'll work on Linux without any added complexity.
