I have to create an application that will be started a few times per day (it's non - interactive).

To operate, it needs LARGE amounts of data from the Internet (megabytes) via a rather slow connection, so the WCF service calls take quite some time.

At the same time, it needs to perform local calculations and has a sophisticated initialization process.

So, what I want to do is to create a workflow that asynchronously fetches the data (takes a few minutes) while already initializing / calculating locally.

Is there a way to accomplish this?
