Yes, that's something that was long overdue. I've pushed updates to both
liblore and b4 in master -- note that you'll need to update liblore to 0.8.0+
for it to do the right thing, but the latest master should let you do Esc to
interrupt network lookups.

Try it out and let me know if it's working or not.
