can I interrupt loadstrings() ?
Feb 5th, 2009, 6:54pm  
I there, i'm trying to collect content from URLs to do some nice drawings. I used "batches" of threads to get content (say for instance 10 per 10), but having a long list off URL to collect the info from, i get stuck waiting for slow URL to "loadstrings"... is there a way to "interrupt" that ??

I tried "nameofthethread.interrupt()"... it changed the thread flag but did not "stopped it". I fall into "memory overstuff" situations.

How should I handle this :
- create "sliding thread batch" (I only push my problem to the end of the process) ?
- get into java io ???

anyone ???
