I must be missing something: How would we do that? I imagine some call 
infront of the call to KIO::NetAccess::download() and another one to set 
it back when download() returned.

Somehow, I don't feel very comfortable with that approach. The goal is to 
stick with download() (synchronous call). 

p.s. Please CC me on mails to kfm-devel since I don't have subscribed to 
it. TIA.
