I had this problem and traced it back to a bug in ASP.NET's Request.BinaryRead()....which was playing hell with the app since it was designed as a web based file management system - so I had to revert back to ASP3.0 for the HTTP file uploads.
At normal usage the process was reclying several times an hour - and was killing off any uploads that were in process :-( --b Bryan Batchelder eBusiness Consultant ConnectWise, Inc. 813-935-7100 x 425 > -----Original Message----- > From: Sills, Adam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 11:20 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [DOTNET] aspnet_wp.exe recycling > > > Has anyone else experienced the aspnet_wp.exe process > recycling excessively?
