Yes, download is over a network. I used thread/process because download
process is very time consuming and I have to continuously check for other
kinds of downloads. Yes, I can download using  QNetworkAccessManager but
then all download will have to be done in either a thread or a process
because it is time consuming.

How can I use processEvents in my class process app events?
