I have a similar situation in one application I use daily. I have a separate exe which does the downloads, and this exe creates a txt-file in a specific folder for each successful download, the name of the file is a random number, like 12345678.txt. The main program has a timer, and this timer checks this directory regualarly using
something like

if adir(dummy,'mydir\*.txt')>0
  do myprocess && myprocess reads the file via filetostr(), processes the file, and deletes it
enddo
