Block headers download

I have trouble implementing parallel blockchain download (headers only). I read wiki back and forth, but do not understand:
1) What exactly is block locator object.
2) How to download headers before certain block (towards genesis block)
Now I can start from genesis and work up blockchain (using 0 as hash_stop). Is it possible to move in opposite direction (from newest blocks to genesis)?
