The main thread spawns a thread. So there could be many threads. Each thread calls a download function. But this downloadfunction has a mutex hence only one thread at any one time can have access. I was going to have some consumer-producer queueing but I got idle. Its ok. Produces threads but they are all independant and are "serialised" when downloading. Oh well cheap and ugly but less complex.
