Simplest hack to fix your problem.

In your program class:

static volatile int ThreadsComplete = 0;

In your "myMethod" at the end before return:

//ThreadsComplete++; //*edit* for safety's sake
Interlocked.Increment(ref ThreadsComplete);

In your main method before it returns/ends:

while(ThreadsComplete < urls.Count) { Thread.Sleep(10); }

The above essentially hacks together a WaitForAll synchronization method.
