Well, if you're using 'put URL', then it is a blocking command, meaning that
you don't go to the next script line until it is done downloading. This
should mean that if you're in a repeat loop, you're finished downloading
when the repeat loop is over.
The other possibility is to use "load url", which is *non-blocking*, and
then periodically check the urlStatus of the url you're working on to see
how far it's gotten.
