<p>This took me a while to track down - I was having a problem where I could have two WebRequets objects open and reading data, but when I'd try to open the third one, it would just time out.</p> <p>Searching Usenet I found quite a few people with the same problem, but no solutions.  After digging for a little while I found out what was going on.</p> <p>The short answer is this:</p> <blockquote dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <p>ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 10;</p></blockquote> <p dir="ltr">Put that at the start of your app and make the number big enough to handle the number of connections you'll need.  The default value of 2 seems somewhat restrictive - this number controls the size of the thread pool that processes web requests (among other things). </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p>Thu, 01 Sep 2005 19:17:04 GMT
