Answer 1

You won't find anything better that ASIHTTPRequest, the problem will be how you are using it and vanishing delegates on navigation are a common problem to have to deal with.

It sounds like your problem relates to the viewcontroller that is handling the queue being destroyed due to user navigation. I find the best way of solving these issues is to have a central model class that handles all my communications and keep that class throughout the application lifecycle.

That way you don't get unexplained crashes when delegates have vanished unexpectedly.

Option 2

Another approach can be to disable user navigation until the network operation completes. Put a modal view over the entire screen that shows a uiactivityview so the user knows their actions are being blocked. Then you can fade the modal view off when the data has arrived. If you design the screen nicely with a gradient so the background just dims a bit, this can look OK. But it's not really the best approach - you should fix the delegate AWOL instead.

We probably need to see more of the code relating to the queue creation, destruction etc to find the exact issue.
