That's what I have been thinking, too. From what I saw there it looks to
me like it might be much easier to just download the files from within a
separate thread. I don't know what exactly you want to achieve of
course, but from your first post my impression was that using threads
should not be overly difficult. I might be wrong there, of course.

Unfortunately I have no experience with asyncio at all, so I have no idea
if things could be handled considerably easier using it instead of
threads.
