From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

&gt; *`org.gradle.daemon.idletimeout=(# of idle millis)`*
&gt; Gradle Daemon will terminate itself after a specified number of idle milliseconds.
&gt; _Default is `10800000` (3 hours)._
you can turn that down if you want the daemon to stop sooner

it's hard to tell by the IP addresses but I suspect they're maven repositories behind CDNs that have keep-alive

Thank you for the info.  I may just disable the daemon locally.

I will mention that if I was hosting something gradle touched, I would be really pissed to find the entire gradle population stayed connected.

Gradle isn't doing anything unusual - it's just using an HTTP connection pool. if the server sends a keep-alive header then the connection stays in the pool.

This is like vm versus emacs discussions.  I have a different opinion that might not be mainstream.  Not going to make a fuss now that I understand the parameters.

I just get nervous when I see open connections to an internal server that is idle.  Really nervous.

my point is that (regardless of Gradle) it's completely opt-in from the server side whether connections should be left open after each request. why would you be pissed about something that you told all your clients to do
