New-pan's core is single- threaded as that tremendously simplifies debugging and eliminates race conditions, but it does spawn threads where that's necessary. This may be made non-blocking without making it threaded, but if not, the external editor launcher should be spun off into a separate thread, so it doesn't stall ongoing downloads, for instance. For binaries, the network is the bottleneck, and it's simply illogical to make it all the more so by pausing it unnecessarily. (I don't have time ATM but I'm saving the post with the bug number to comment to the above effect, later.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
