However you are correct in that a failed connection will then leave the socket open. adding a timer into the text event can close the socket if its left open. Code: on *:TEXT:!top10:#: set %chan $chan \| sockopen topten www.deepsky.ws 80 \| .timertopten 1 30 sockclose topten

If a socket isn't closed automatically and you don't have a sockclose in the script itself, it will be left open and the script won't work again until you close it. I usually include the sockclose in the sockread even, but then again I'm always reading a site that uses HTML tags and has a </html> that lets me know when I can close the socket correctly. I also tend not to use anchors with a goto in my sockread, but that's more personal preference.

Code: on 1:sockread:[color:red]testing[/color]:{ if ($sockerr > 0) return :nextread sockread %temp if ($sockbr == 0) return if (%temp == $null) %temp = - [color:red]echo 4 %temp[/color] goto nextread } I only needed to change those red bits to get what the OP asked for.
