how to know when loading from network is complete?

I am working on a proof of concept app that reads a perl file off the web into an array and looks through it for updated info.
Is there a way of being able to tell when a file has completed downloading from a server?
Eg. assuming it could take 1 second for a request to be sent and info recieved back, that's a lot of cycles through loop().

As far as I can tell, the load functions are blocking. IE, your app will freeze until the file finishes downloading.

perhaps threading is the answer then?

yup, put it in a thread that takes care of the network io. there's a new set of classes in java 1.4 with non-block net io, but you may as well stick with the older 1.1 stuff and use a thread. it's not too bad.
