Hi, Here are two patches regarding the threadpool. The first is to python/threadpool.py and firstly fixes the problem with the threadpool not being safe to it's own threads and secondly to ensure that enough threads get started. I'm not convinced that the way the threads are started is the best way, but it gets the job done. The second patch removes knowledge of the threadpool internals from internet/base.py /Anders -- Anders Chrigström <ac@strakt.com>
