Are there more sophisticated alternatives to Apples Reachability class?

Question

Apple has created that famous Reachability class but looking at the code I don't trust it much. The formatting and header is messy.

Also it provides no help for showing that "You have no internet!" alert.

I just want to do:

• At some point download a XML.

• When there is no internet, show alert.

• When internet disconnects while downloading the XML, show alert.

In my app the user taps no download button it all happens automatically in the background.

That's it. Really. I spent now 3 hours with Reachability my brain just rejects it.

Did someone create a clever alternative with a clean header and clean code? Something that is really simple to use?
