Main process XHR requests are pending while downloading

[fabriziopoggi]

I'm downloading big files from a renderer calling remote.require("electron-download-manager").download.
Everything works fine but all XHR requests made by the Main process after that the download has began remain in pending state until the dowload is completed.
Is there something I can do to allow the Main process to make requests and receive webservice results while downloading? Thanks

can you provide code to reproduce this?

[fabriziopoggi]

Sure!

Renderer process:
ipcRenderer.send ('download', { url: uri , properties: {}, filename: path.basename (uri) });

Main process:
const DownloadManager = require ("electron-download-manager")

ipcMain.on ('download', (event, arg) => { const dlId = uuidv4 (); DownloadManager.download ( { url: arg.url, onProgress: (progress, item) => { mainWindow.webContents.send ("download_progress", progress, item, arg.url, dlId) } }, function (error, info) { if (error) { console.log ("Download error: " + error) return } //console.log ("DONE: " + info.url); mainWindow.webContents.send ("download_done", info.filePath, dlId) } ) mainWindow.webContents.send ("download_start", arg.filename, dlId); })

Thanks.
