Hi Manolito!

It's not strictly necessary to base this plugin on kde kioslaves. I suggest you to use them only if this simplifies your life, but this seems not to be the case, from what you wrote before.
Many months ago I gave too a look at kioslaves to figure out how easy it would be to implement multithread downloads. What I remember is that I realized how kioslaves are good for 99% of kde applications, but not so good for a download application.

So I think it would be a better idea to drop kioslaves and think about another way to implement it (pure qt is good).

Comments? questions?

Many many thanks for your work.. :-)
