I haven't quite grasped Richard's problem of the pendingMessages. But  
I doubt it would make a difference whether using "blocking" or non- 
blocking url routines. The so-called blocking routines are only  
"script-blocking". i.e. they block the currently executing handler,  
but will allow other asynchronous activity. (For example, clicking on  
an active button during a download, or presumably executing anything  
put on the pendingMessages queue before the "blocking" routine was  
called.)

Generally, anything on the pendingMessages queue will execute during  
an FTP file transfer, if it's due to be run at that time. Depending  
on the message, it might interfere with the transfer. For example, a  
long repeat that exceeds the socketTimeout interval.
