Abstract
A system and method are presented for the facilitation of threaded download of software record identifiers and software records. Software record identifiers and software records are stored in separate one-dimensional stacks, which stacks feed a plurality of download threads in a first-in, first-out method. Software records and/or software record identifiers may optionally be written in parallel, or in an asynchronous manner. The total number of threads allowed to a user may optionally be limited to a pre-set number. The speed and efficiency of downloading records is increased through use of all of the cores of multi-cored computing systems to substantively concurrently download several threads. The method further allows a failed download thread to restart from the point at which it failed, rather than beginning again from the origin of the thread, thus ensuring that no software records are duplicated, and that no software records are skipped within a download thread.
