Now. There is one more issue. Seems that on faster computers and/or 
Windows 7 (the Win32 thing I have tested on a HVM Xen machine with 
Windows XP) the os.rename is too fast after fp.close() and generates the 
same Exception. The code follows:

curl.close()
fp.close()
os.rename(tfile, actualfile)

Where, tfile is the .part file, actual file is the real destination, fp 
was opened with open(..., "wb") and the descriptor passed to curl.

I have solved the issue with self.msleep(10) - msleep is a method of 
QThread. But I don't think it's an elegant and normal solution. Did 
fp.close() is delayed, or? I mean, I don't want to rely on a "sleep" in 
order to workaround the access issue.

On this issue there is no more process spawn, nothing, just the 
downloader thread and the main window. And the access denied appears at 
random time.
