Hey, RSK,

I think the mailing list still works, it's just been quiet for about a week.

You're right, all that needs to be done is create a reporthook for the
GUI. Downloads will need to be handled in a thread so that the GUI
will remain active.

Chris wrote some great stuff on his blog a while back about using
threads with PyGTK:
http://excid3.com/blog/2010/06/pygtk-and-threads-part-1/
http://excid3.com/blog/2010/06/pygtk-and-threads-part-2/

Because of the nature of threads, the code will probably end up
looking a little strange. Feel free to dump thoughts on the mailing
list let us help you figure things out.  :-)
