well, for one, these downloads will need to be fast to be useful to the user, 
or we'll need to provide for a really "slow boat" for these kinds of runners 
(e.g. don't launch them during typing, but only after typing ceases for a 
period of time or upon some other user generated signal)

i'll wager that kio isn't thread safe ;) if you put a shared (e.g. class 
static) mutex in your runner that wraps the KIO usage, does it then work?
