The problem with the TWSocket implementation is that it uses threads, and FPC is not yet 100% ready for threads. The basic FPC TThread object seems to work, but it is not clear whether this is enough to work with TWsocket, since the RTL is in no way thread-safe.
But we're working on it.

The problem with the TWSocket implementation is that it uses threads,
and FPC is not yet 100% ready for threads. The basic FPC TThread object

I suppose it is the problem, since the Win32 TWSocket also doesn't work properly, probably also because of thread support.
