I tried TidAntiFreeze and it didn't work! It seemed to reduce the length of time that the main form froze but not good enough.
But I managed to fix my problem. I forgot that I was purposely accessing a plain procedure stored inside my thread unit from the main unit, and this was accessing the HTTP.Get. So it was my main thread executing the Get and therefore the main form was not responding during the Get. I've managed to fix this now so it's operating in the thread only. Thanks to all who responded.
