Now I'm back to my original question about whether there are connection limits. I'm just a bit paranoid since .NET CF would hang after two (2) connections. Yes really. So far, I've found that there are parameters called MaxTotalConnections and MaxConnectionsPerRoute on ConnectionManager. http://developer.android.com/reference/org/apache/http/conn/params/ConnManagerParams.html I wouldn't want to increase the connections above the default, and so I wouldn't want to create more threads than that. I'll try to discover what those limits are. Nathan
