[Mono-dev] Why not build official site on ASP.NET? Mono should enhance server performance and stability!

[Alan McGovern]

Hey,

MonoTorrent uses the standard .NET threadpool for all asynchronous sockets.
It's all standard Socket.BeginReceive/Socket.EndReceive calls. I've run it
with ~150 open connections in the past with no issues, though it's worth
noting that 150 open connections != 150 actively transferring connections.

If you're seeing issues with running out of threads and connections being
dropped as a result, just export MONO_THREADS_PER_CPU=100 to increase the
maximum number of allowed threads and see if that helps. Feel free to vary
the number up or down as appropriate.

Alan.
