Question

I was told that using the -> in that way will keep my UI ticking so it doesnt lock! and save doing NSThread / NSOperationQueue

Can someone help me with the syntax of how i would use that? Im basically downloading a image into a UIImage*.

Thanks

That has not been my experience. I normally have to turn off the idle timer to prevent the device from locking:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setIdleTimerDisabled:YES];

The NSURLConnection is already asynchronous, so there is no need to add it to an NSOperationQueue. Apple has a very helpful and concise guide that shows you how to use it.
