QNetworkAccessManager timeout when server is down?

Hi Martinn. Sure you've already passed the timeout of this issue BUT I've been looking for a solution to the same thing, and looks like the way to go is by implementing a timer and using the "downloadProgress" signal emitted from the reply to know that your download is still happening.

See this post in Stack Overflow:

Kaleb Pederson's answer:
Use the QNetworkReply::uploadProgress() (or downloadProgress) signal to alert you that the operation is progressing. Then, set a timer for <n> seconds after the last uploadProgress/downloadProgress notification (with the timer started when the download/upload commenced.) If the download ever stops, you can cancel the operation <n> seconds after the last update.
