Hm, does it still not work after my latest commit? There were some signal/slot 
mismatches that I fixed and then download worked for me.

Upload definitely works, but it depends on KIO which is still buggy. This is 
why we use the SVN-maintained 'kdedata' repo at the moment. We can switch to 
WebDAV later once KIO works, and then users will be able to upload.

Hmpf, so there are 3 servers available right now:
- the to-be-introduced data.kde.org, run by me
- the one run by Albert
- and a veeeeery big server run by Adriaan, he told me about it on LinuxTag 
and suggested it to be used for GHNS

Maybe we should coordinate a bit better :)
