The new release has the download threads set to low priority.
(One could argue that threads are always a suboptimal solution if single threaded solutions are available)
In a Qt application, you should use QNetworkAccessManager to do the downloads in asynchronous fashion. You can track progress with that as well:

The only unresponsiveness I get is when the list of items gets quite large. The scrolling becomes a little 'sticky', and it takes a split second longer to respond to screen taps on the list items. I don't know if there's a solution to this. I'm considering reworking the UI using QML in future, so I'll look at this in more detail at that point.

cuteTube 0.9.9-12 is now being uploaded to extras-devel. Audio now works when the device is using the 'silent' profile.

QML version of the UI would be nice & responsive, however, that will benefit from using QNetworkAccessManager for downloading as well.

Can i request you bring something else back too... The old way of rating a video imo was much better, i also liked the fact that you could see how the video was rated in the thumbnail before actually clicking the video. Kinda gives you a clue as to wether or not its worth watching? Thanks

There is a workaround whereby you set the application name to 'FMRadio' (which is on the whitelist), but this might mess with some other things in my application, so I need to check it out.
