I don't think that this any mystery. By your own tests, waitForReadyRead 
waits the designated period when the network is functioning correctly, 
but doesn't wait when there is a network error. Isn't this just what the 
documentation below says? In my opinion, this is correct. If you have a 
functioning network, it makes sense to wait because, though the other 
computer may be busy now, it may send data in the next couple of 
seconds. However, if you don't have a functioning network, there will 
never be any data, so why wait?
