Blocking in iOS and libUrlDownloadToFile

[Gerry Orkin]

You have to prevent the user from interrupting the download - I do that by showing a transparent rect over the whole screen so they can't interact with the app until the download is done. I think by "blocking" they mean you can't request another download until this one is complete.
