Instead of using the global thread pool, that plan consisted of a dedicated thread to fetch symbols in the background. That would allow us to add the symbol info synchronously. For example on every stop we could ask if there are any new symbol files to add instead of trying to add the symbol info as soon as it becomes available.

I kinda like that. Bonus points if you make that single thread download multiple files at the same time (using threads to paralelize downloading is not the best approach, since the task is not cpu-bound). :)
