Well we only want some dozen of connections. However the point still holds since it wont be better on an application Like freenet. However I agree, its not a big deal to use a thread for each connection. This is very reasonable. > Using threads has _nothing_ to do with careless programming. Using 1200 Thread IS CARELESS Programming. But this discussion is in a dead end. Performance doesnt seem to be an issue for you, so there we go. Have fun.
