The only way that can happen is if you are performing the download in the
context of the main thread.  It is not a good idea to perform lengthy
blocking operations within the main thread.  Move the download code into a
worker thread instead.  Then the main thread remains free to manage the UI
only.

It is not impossible.  If you do not use a worker thread, then you will have
to call Application->ProcessMessages() inside of the TIdFTP's OnWork events
periodically.
