+// This class handles download of remote resources (any kind of file)
+// All the resources are stored locally in the userPath
+// For every resources, the downloader verifies if the resource was modifed
+// on the server before downloading the update. The Downloader maintains a catalogue
+// of resource downloaded to be able to check if they need to be updated.
+//
+// The interface can be used completly synchronously by the application and some
+// context or message loop is needed in the implementation of this interface
+//
+// Note that the Downloader could in theory by implemented on top of JNetwork.
