Description
When trying to access the Asset Downloader during either a Github outage or a disconnect, the program hangs up and then needs to be force closed. (On Windows) We should probably add a warning window when Github is not reachable and close the Asset Downloader instead of letting the program hang up.

Research direction
Reproduce the hang on Windows by opening the Asset Downloader while GitHub is unreachable, then inspect the Asset Downloader's network handling. Done means an unreachable GitHub produces a warning and closes the downloader instead of hanging or requiring a force close.
