I would recommend threading. You can run your GUI event loop on one thread, and your network I/O loop on another thread. Both threads spend the bulk of their time blocked on I/O, and you've limited yourself to a finite number of threads (as opposed to a pure threaded approach with every download is run on a separate thread), so resource consumption should be reasonable.
