Why are you using base 64 and QDataStream? Why not just send the byte 
array size and the byte array itself? The base64 encoding is completely 
unnecessary, since your channel is 8-bit clean.

Just be careful with endianness when sending the size.

Also note the following potential errors:
 - waitForBytesWritten waits for any bytes written, not ALL bytes written
 - there's no code in the receiving side to wait for all necessary bytes 
	to arrive
 - you write a QByteArray into the QDataStream, but you read a QString
