Well IMO, a well written API reference will cover usage questions.

KIOJob *job;
[..]
job = new KIOJob();
connect(job, SIGNAL( sigFinished( int ) ), this, SLOT(slotFinished(int)));
connect(job, SIGNAL(sigData( int, const char*, int ) ), this, SLOT(slotData(( int, const char*, int ) ));
job->get("pop://host/download/1");
job->get("pop://host/remove/1");

Now you can also manually specify the user and hostname in the url,
otherwise you'll be prompted for it.  Also the slave attempts to be
persistant, but perhaps a download_and_remove command would be safer.

I think also, I'll work on implementing the index part in a few moments,
so any suggestions are welcomed.
