FWIW, the "QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 
'QNetworkReply::NetworkError' (Make sure 'QNetworkReply::NetworkError' 
is registered using qRegisterMetaType().)" warning isn't important.   
The code has been changed in unstable/development so it is "proper", but 
whether or not the change is in place has no effect on the metadata 
grabbers' ability to do their jobs, IME.
