Tiemo

"load url" works in the background and you need to use a callback  
message to get the data. Something like this:

on myHandler
-- whatever
   load URL pUrl with message "loaded"
end myHandler

on loaded pUrl, pStatus
   if pStatus is "cached" then
     put decompress(url pUrl) into url (whatever)
   else
     answer "download failed" -- or other error handling
    end if
   unload url pUrl -- assuming y0u no longer need it
end loaded
