Unfortunately, it's not.

That means: it returns as soon as its started, from there you're supposed to monitor the progress through the callback function - which we can't do unfortunately.

Ugh, how I hate the lack of asynchronous callback support. :(
Oops I didn't actually read the MSDN article ahaha!

And why didn't MsgPlus.DownloadFile work? It should process the url like any other.
