If you're using multithreading for UI synchronization, i.e. for displaying progressbar of download status, consider reducing the number of UI refresh events on the UI thread. We discovered that MD has occasional crashes(non catchable) if you are synchronizing UI thread in very short time intervals, while having long running working thread in background. I expirienced this not only with sockets, but with heavy database loads(sqllite).
