I would still put the following try+catch block around the whole logic:

void deviceDownloader()
{
    try {
        // ... existing contents of the function ...
    } catch (Exception exc) {
        writeln("Error: ", exc.msg);
    } catch (Error err) {
        writeln("Unrecoverable error: ", err.msg);
    }
}

Another thing to use it to start the program under a debugger and look 
at how many threads it has. If the program is called "deneme", on the 
console:

 gdb deneme

Then, inside gdb:

run
Ctrl-C
info threads

That command lists two threads for me.
