I noticed you are now calling Application.ProcessMessages in
TDownloader.SockStatus. You shouldn't make that call from a thread. It
will try to handle the messages from the thread. Perhaps the widget
set has some protection for that and will ignore calls coming from
anything but the main thread but I doubt it. It'll cause sooner or
later big problems.

Get your GUI stuff out of the download thread. It pays to have clean
and understandable threads.
