Thanks for the efforts, and especially for discussing the design early.

I see some user interface issues here: - When and how do you terminate this command? After a successful download, ok. But how long do we wait for that? Forever? Or do we time out? - It would be nice if the user could terminate the command using ^C. > Do you think my approach is correct?
