Hey, thanks for the concern. I looked at pg's code and i must admit i'm still confused. To me it looks like it's doing what I need it to but hanging after having launched 1020 or so threads. What i'm doing is downloading small chunks of data from the internet. I'm on a fairly fast link, but if I try to do the proccess in serial, it takes ages because of waiting for http request/response. So, i'm launching b/ween 50-100 seperate threads to do the task, this way i'm finding i can make better use of my bandwidth. The plan is to have X number of workers sitting there downloading these small chunks of data, when one of them finishes, a new worker is created to take it's place. What i'm trying to do is probably not the best way to do it, but as I said, it's working nicely apart from hanging after having created 1020 threads. Thanks for your help!
