+Blocking Or Non-Blocking?
+-------------------------
+
+With the default Transport Adapter in place, Requests does not provide any kind
+of non-blocking IO. The ``Response.content`` property will block until the
+entire response has been downloaded. If you require more granularity, the
+streaming features of the library (see :ref:`streaming-requests`) allow you to
+retrieve smaller quantities of the response at a time. However, these calls
+will still block.
+
+If you are concerned about the use of blocking IO, there are lots of projects
+out there that combine Requests with one of Python's asynchronicity frameworks.
+Two excellent examples are `grequests`_ and `requests-futures`_.
