Hi,
 FTP server has a limited thread on connection , and if one job is running , adding another FTP resource , KGet hangs on trying to login , and the whole user interface hangs , because it will never close as Login attempt would never success until the first job finished.

This feature should not be enabled or at least , use a separated thread , not hanging the whole user interface as what a dialog usually does.

BTW: popup a notify that FTP login ok won't be necessary if user choose to make a newly added job "Stopped" , and activate it by hand

Reproducible: Always

Do you mean automatic login or a login which requires user interaction?
Here with 4.6 nothing hangs, the only problem which exists is that the downloads only get added once all the others have finished, yet the program remains responsive.
I also don't get the popups you are mentioning.

How recent is your devel version?

This issue should be fixed starting with 4.6 IIRC, with 4.7 for sure which I just verified with a local ftp server.
