* QNetworkAccessManager is supposed to be asynchronous and threaded internally,
but calling get() the first time can take multiple *seconds* while it
initialises proxy data and loads ssl libraries.
* Qt's threading rules are so strict it's impossible to feasibly move
QNetworkAccessManager to another thread.
* Instead we use Qt's cross-thread signals and slots to move the whole thing
into a wrapper object. It's stupid.
