This seems to be caused because ProgressThread run() is trying to access 
Hostfactory.host which is null. I've done a quick fix to check for this and it 
will 
stop the FC but maybe a better solution is to disallow cover downloads entirely 
until 
a connection is established? 

FC when hitting back button is also related to the thread being stalled at 
trying to 
connect and cancel() calls mHandlerIn which have not been created. Again a null 
pointer check here will work.
