Hi all,

I have a blocking TClientSocket inside a thread. It connects to 
a server and reads data from it. I need to read small and/or 
large amount of data. Basically it is working quite well, but 
sometimes I have strange disconnections. My questions are:

The help (BCB5) states to set the Count parameter of 
TWinSocketStream::Read "fairly low, and make several calls to 
Read, rather than fewer calls with a large value of Count". 
That's what I did, but how to interpret that "fairly low"? 1? 
10? 100? 1000?

Could a too low value of Count result in an overflow of the 
TCP/IP stack so that there are some packets not acknowledge and 
the connection is then brutally reset (although I sniffered the 
traffic and my TCP window is always greater than 64000)?

Thanks for any clue.

Stefano.
