QNetworkAccessManager smart handling of timeouts / network errors

[frankiefrank]

I'm working with QNetworkAccessManager and I have some cases in which the whole application hangs after the get() call if there was no network connection. (For example if I don't allow the outgoing connection via the firewall dialog).

My implementation supports multiple active downloads. I've seen some online advice (here / StackOverflow I think) about using timers to check the downloadProgress. But is there really no better way to do this?

Sorry if I'm being vague - I'd just like to hear about other possible solutions.

QNetworkAccessManager shouldn't behave like that. Please show us your code.
