+    Demo - Multi-threaded downloader with one_line_progress_meter
+
+    Sometimes you don't have a choice in how your data is downloaded.  In some programs
+    the download happens in another thread which means you cannot call PySimpleGUI directly
+    from the thread.
+
+    Maybe you're still interested in using the one_line_progress_meter feature or perhaps
+    have implemented your own progress meter in your window.
+
+    Using the write_event_value method enables you to easily do either of these.
