Download image files from server with WWW and store it in local storage

I have an application where ,

  1. After successful inApp purchase, the app contents(textures, in my case) should be downloaded from the server and stored in the local storage for later use.
  2. Basically, I need to download 2d textures, create sprite from them and assign those sprites to the sprite renderers.

Solution know to me:

  1. Download contents in the background by calling WWW(url) which returns a new WWW object.
  2. Use Asset Bundles which dynamically loads external assets(but, it requires pro version).

As I’m working with Unity non-pro version, option 1 would be easier. Confused in how to deal with a large number of images and how to integrate them with the game objects in the scene.

Thoughts? Advice? Links to tutorials (I couldn’t find much on this particular topic)?
