    Just wondering if there's a good tutorial out there which guides the user through a little project which develops an app using asynchronous sockets (and possibly WebRequests).

    I'm going to be developing a bittorrent library in C# over the summer, and i've never really dealt with more than 10 simultaenous connections, and i just used 10 threads for that (i know, it's a bad way to do it :P). So, any advice/tips links would be helpful. I've been doing a bit of googling about the topic, and i've come across a fair few examples that use an IM type program as the example.

    Also, is there a good book that gives a good background description of how to set up the class structure needed to allow efficient controlling of all these connections? i.e. so i have the ability to limit overall number of connections, number of connections on a per-torrent basis, and limit overall upload/download speed etc etc. All i can think is that everytime i want to send or recieve data it should go through a "connection manager" type class, but i have no idea how to implement something like that. The connection manager would be where i limit the download/upload rate etc.

    Also, is there anyone here who's used these and wouldn't mind answering a few questions i have at the moment?
