I am making this program using tkinter and urllib which is supposed to be like a download manager. After I was nearly done with the program I realized that I had not defined a cancel button for the downloads. After looking into it more I found out about multiprocessing (before that I just used threading) and apparently it is a better module than threading for running functions in parallel and it also has a terminate function. However, no matter what I do I can't seem to understand this module. It is much more complicated than threading and I get absurd errors all the time. In my program I constantly get this error:

I have absolutely no idea what has caused this error and how to fix it. It seems like there is a problem with the start_download() function. My code (I know that it has some flaws and that I can make it cleaner, I just wanted to do that after finishing the fundamentals and if there are some parts that you think is irrelevant please inform me. ):
