HttpConnection Limit in .NET

Does your .NET application need to make a large number of HTTP requests concurrently? Be warned that the amount of simultaneous HTTP connections might get throttled by the .NET Framework. Often this can be a good thing, as it is a restriction that is designed to help protect an application from harming a larger system.

Don't worry, you can easily raise the connection limit by adding a simple Connection Management Section to your app.config or web.config:

<configuration>

  <system.net>

    <connectionManagement>

      <add address="*" maxconnection="10000" />

    </connectionManagement>

  </system.net>

</configuration>

Enjoy,
