URL download and Cache problems

This conversation raises a question -

There are currently two ways to download files, the "load" command and 
"get URL".

It used to be the case that "load" was a better option for longer 
downloads and/or if you need to update a progress bar, since it was the 
only one of the two that was non-blocking and you could querty the 
urlStatus for those downloads.

But now that we have the libUrlStatusCallback option, which provides 
periodic messages for "get URL", is there any benefit to using "load"?
