Napp Download Manager
Notice
THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS. HELP OUT IMPROVE IT
The Mission: Create a common way for Ti apps to download multiple files in a background thread. The more work the module can do - the better. We do not want to spam the JS thread with too much info. e.g. if you use the event "progress" you keep spamming the JS thread - hence not really getting anything out of threading.
Description
This is a download module for Appcelerator Titanium that allows you to add urls and download the files in the background.
Accessing the module
To access this module from JavaScript, you would do the following:
var NappDownloadManager = require("dk.napp.downloadmanager");
The downloader variable is a reference to the Module object.

NappDownloadManager.addEventListener('progress', function(e) {
var progress = e.downloadedBytes * 100.0 / e.totalBytes;
var text = e.downloadedBytes + '/' + e.totalBytes + ' ' + Math.round(progress)+ '% ' + e.bps + ' bps';
});
NappDownloadManager.addDownload({name: 'name 1', url:URL1, filePath:file1.nativePath, priority: NappDownloadManager.DOWNLOAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL});
