            Bug ID: 353254
           Summary: kget5: Downloads fail to start due to path/protocol
                    confusion
           Product: kget
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Core
          Assignee: kget at kde.org
          Reporter: pastas4 at gmail.com

Every time a download is attempted to be started, it gets stopped immediately
and cannot be resumed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open KGet5
2. Press "New Download"
3. Paste some URL (for example, Kubuntu ISO)
4. Start download

Actual Results:  
The download doesn't start, and a new directory named "file:" is created in the
working directory, with a duplicate hierarchy to the output directory inside
(but no actual files inside).

Expected Results:  
The download should start, and no "file:" directory should be created.

This seems to be caused by the "file://" protocol being misinterpreted as a
path.

I'm using KGet Version 2.95.0:
KDE Frameworks 5.14.0
Qt 5.4.2 (built against 5.4.2)
The xcb windowing system
openSUSE Tumbleweed
