I don't complain, I'm just saying that these are different problems so they
should be separated bugs, not duplicates.

The problem is that we have to run message loop during downloading and apps
might not expect it. Alternatively we could move it to separated thread, but
then the app would be frozen until download is complete. That's why I don't
consider using downloader the right way for installing Gecko and now that most
distros have Gecko packaged, we might consider removing it. Anyway, it's not
the right place to discuss it.
