    Which uses less memory? Inet or Winsock

    Hey guys,
    I have to transfer files to our server from clients computers, and i want to know which is the better to use in terms of memory usage for the component. I currently use Inet because it is easier to use than Winsock, but i want to know if using winsock will save me significant resources at the client end.

    Thanks guys.
    We don't know what's wrong. . . So the best bet might be to remove something surgically.

    I dunno about resources, but Inet is famous for its unreliablitiy. Also, I don't believe you can cancel a transfer that Inet is processing, whereas w/Winsock you can. It's helpful to be able to stop a transfer, instead of waiting for it to timeout.

    Hmm. If you have win2k, you can view memory usage with the Task Manager.

    I would think the difference is minor.
