I am developing a console app.

I want to use a Threadpool to perform web downloads. Here is some fake code.

 for (int loop=0; loop< 100; loop++)
         


        

Answer 1

Description

You can do this using the ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads method.

But there are some problems using the ThreadPool for WebRequest. Read, for example, this (Bug in ThreadPool or HttpWebRequest?)

Sample

ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads(2,2);

Edit

Personally i would use AsParallel from Linq, for this.
