prun ${layers[@]}

# Run twice in-case of failure
QUIET="true"
prun ${layers[@]}

Something like this would work.

extract_image() {
	local source=$1 full
	shift

	while [ -n "$1" ]; do
		file="$source/${1}.tar.gz"
		tar --overwrite -xzf $file -h -C $ROOT \
			--exclude=./sys \
			--exclude=./dev \
			--exclude=./proc \
			--exclude=./etc/fstab
		shift
	done
}

@Mickep76 But how i am expecting is "at any point in time 4 downloads should run" - i mean suppose we sent 4 file-downloads to background and 2 among the 4 gets completed very soon because of very less size, i want another 2 files from the queue should be send for download.
Will that be possible..!?
help me here..!?

How do you make sure the layers are reassembled in the correct order? If 2 layers modify the same file, they need to be reapplied in the correct order.
