Hi, The reason is that my application does about 16 connects and data transfers per second, to the same 16 remote hosts. After approx 200 secs there are 4000 sockets waiting to be garbage collected by the OS. At this point is seems that connect loops and starts using the same local addresses it used 4000 connections ago, resulting in an "Address already in use" exception.
A possible solution to this would be to keep the connection to each remote host open, but that would require parsing of the received data into the data items (which are files by the way) sent by the application. My question is if there are any other methods of solving this? Maybe a socket option of some sort... regards -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
