Trying to Load internet texture during Runtime

Unity Engine
1

I’m trying to load a PNG file from the internet using a url then setting it as a texture of a material (Cut-Out Shader). I tried using www.LoadImageIntoTexture and www.texture, but I cant seem to get it right. This current code will freeze during the start of the game. I use Debug.Log(renderer.material.mainTexture.GetType() to see what type I need and it is a Texture2D.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class getSkin : MonoBehaviour {
	public string skin;
	public string url;	//http://www.minecraftskins.com/newuploaded_skins/skin_20140518235659161371.png
	//Texture2D tex = renderer.material.mainTexture as Texture2D;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		skin = GameObject.Find ("PlayerPrefs").GetComponent<SingleP>().skin;
		url = GameObject.Find("PlayerPrefs").GetComponent<SingleP>().url;
		//tex = new Texture2D(16,16,TextureFormat.DXT1,false);
		

        WWW www = new WWW(url);
		while (true){
        if(www.isDone){
		Debug.Log("True");
        renderer.material.mainTexture = www.texture;
		}
		}
		//www.LoadImageIntoTexture(renderer.material.mainTexture);
    }

	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		if(skin == "Link")
		{
			this.renderer.material.mainTexture = Resources.Load("Link") as Texture;
		}
		else if (skin == "Vegeta")
		{
			this.renderer.material.mainTexture = Resources.Load("Vegeta") as Texture;
		}
		 
	}
}

Thanks for the help.

EDIT:
I figured it out. Seems pretty simple now ;). Here it is if anyone needs the same help. Of course, you got to set url and/or skin by yourself.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class getSkin : MonoBehaviour {
	public string skin; 
	public string url; //http://www.minecraftskins.com/newuploaded_skins/skin_20140518235659161371.png

	

	// Use this for initialization
	
		IEnumerator Start() {	
			url = GameObject.Find("PlayerPrefs").GetComponent<SingleP>().url;
			skin = GameObject.Find("PlayerPrefs").GetComponent<SingleP>().skin;
			if(url != ""){
			
        		WWW www = new WWW(url);
			
				yield return www;
				renderer.material.mainTexture = www.texture;
			}
			if(url == "")
			{
				renderer.material.mainTexture = Resources.Load("Skin") as Texture; //set default texture if none choosen
			}
		}
    

	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		renderer.material.mainTexture.filterMode = FilterMode.Point; 
		renderer.material.mainTexture.wrapMode = TextureWrapMode.Repeat;
		
		if(skin == "Link")
		{
			this.renderer.material.mainTexture = Resources.Load("Link") as Texture; //get from Resources Folder
		}
		else if (skin == "Vegeta")
		{
			this.renderer.material.mainTexture = Resources.Load("Vegeta") as Texture;
		}
		 
	}
}

You wrote an infinite loop in your Start function. See the code example in the docs for WWW.texture.

Yea figured it out before you posted. lol I actually read that page too. I knew there was something wrong with the while loop.
