TServerSocket/TClientSocket are deprecated and you should avoid it fo new projects. You can use Indy or ICS (www.overbyte.be) Both are very good. However, ICS can work in blocking and non blocking mode. In non blocking mode, there's no need to use threads to keep your program response during transfers
