{help needed} Only one usage of each socket address

[pauluk83]

Hi all, since just after christmas i have has alot of problems with utorrent. i use port 2020 but i have also changed the port to others but i still get the same, i have allowed all UDP trafic and port 2020 in the firewall and have forwarded them to my pc., i have even gone to the extreem of formatting and reflashing my router ( speedtouch 510 switch)

the actual error that i am getting is "Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted".

i have tryed everything that i can think of to try and solve this problem but i do not know where to go from here, any help would be of use.

Cheers

Paul

Do you recall any changes you've made to your system configuration (applications, µTorrent settings, etc) since Christmas...?

[pauluk83]

i have made no changes, well fomatted and stuff but thats only cos of the error. i see the error on evey torrent that i try to download, it stays like that for about 20 mins then it starts downloading. is there any other nuilds of utorrent? im using 1.6.474 there hasnt been an update in ages

[Ultima]

What advanced settings have you messed with (if any)?

[pauluk83]

well no adanced settings just speed stuff

[Ultima]

(Just for clarity, I'd meant Advanced Settings in µTorrent > Preferences)

Get Process Explorer from sysinternals.com, File > Save, then post the contents of the saved process list in the .txt file here.

My only guess is that it's your network card, but I'm not sure ;\

Have the same problem; I am running it bound to specific port on Win2K here is what MS says about this:

Address already in use.

Typically, only one usage of each socket address (protocol/IP address/port) is permitted. This error occurs if an application attempts to bind a socket to an IP address/port that has already been used for an existing socket, or a socket that was not closed properly, or one that is still in the process of closing. For server applications that need to bind multiple sockets to the same port number, consider using setsockopt (SO_REUSEADDR). Client applications usually need not call bind at all— connect chooses an unused port automatically. When bind is called with a wildcard address (involving ADDR_ANY), a WSAEADDRINUSE error could be delayed until the specific address is committed. This could happen with a call to another function later, including connect, listen, WSAConnect, or WSAJoinLeaf.

Problem manifests itself on start up if there are more then one torrent from the same server; first one goes through, others hang with this error msg until it eventually times out and connects. Is there check needs to be made to aggregate requests if socket had been openned?

SOLUTION to "only one usage of each socket...." problem:

if you use NOD, go to Advanced Setup>Web Access Protection>HTTP, HTTPS>Web Browsers>

find uTorrent and click twice in the box in front of it until it turns to an X (red cross). That should do it.

I had that "only one usage socket thing",

i got it to work though...

But I believe the error is in the newer versions

of the µTorrent...
