Oh, thanks, at least this gives me a starting point to investigate. But I can´t discard the standard modules; this is an (almost) clean python install. The download rate has became extremely low and maybe all of this is related to the recent upgrade to Python 2.4.2... (Maybe Win98+many threads+sockets is not a well tested combination) Thanks, Gabriel Genellina Softlab SRL -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
