Hello Wolfgang This is not multithreading related but it might help you anyways. We were confronted with the same problem for the RSS aggregator module. What happens if a blog is down/unresponsive? It would block the whole site from loading, just as you explained it already. So what the rss aggregator module does is actually trying to get the feeds every 10 minutes and stores the retrieved data in the data module. It then retrieves its content from the data module instead of doing a call to the service which might be down. Advantage: You're more or less independant from any other services, the request is done in the background and even if it fails, you still have the already retrieved data from 10 minutes ago. Disadvantage: You duplicate the content in the data module and you might not be able to get the newest content immediately.
