Yet you're describing exactly a blocking situation:

The background thread runs an event loop, sure, but what is the main thread 
doing in the meantime? Since it doesn't have an event loop, it cannot receive 
events. The only synchronisation mechanisms left are QWaitCondition and 
QSemaphore, which means the main thread must block waiting for the background 
thread to finish the operation.

You really don't have a choice besides those two. Network access is not 
instantaneous. You must either use the event loop or you need to block.

Choose one.
