That's correct. The name of the "wait For BytesWritten" method means it waits for the bytesWritten signal to be emitted. That is emitted when any byte gets written, not when all bytes finish writing. If after the signal is emitted, bytesToWrite() is still too high for you, you can wait again until it drops to a low enough number. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Cloud Software Architect - Intel DCAI Cloud Engineering
