good you found something that works for you, esp such a simple solution.
Interestingly, I had to remove the "/tmp" argument, otherwise it threw
an error. This worked for me on Emacs 27.2:
(setq url
"https://tannerlectures.utah.edu/_resources/documents/a-to-z/c/Coetzee99.pdf")
(url-retrieve url #'eww-download-callback (list url))
It downloads the file in the background.
I wonder, if there is a way to somehow list the running downloads or at
least see the open network buffers? I do not see them in *Buffer List*
and when downloading with eww, the downloads feel invisible.
