snigs Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hey all,came across a little problem I'm hoping you can help me with.I'm running a dedicated uTorrent service on a Windows Server 2003 R2 O/S.I have installed uTorrent as a service so users do not have to be logged in to the box and can control the application through WebUI over the network.However, with the service running there seems to be a port conflict. When first installed last night I was getting a good seed speed, but after checking from work today I noticed my seeds were connected but not active. So I logged into the server and ran the application, uTorrent reports "Listen Error: You Should Change Your Listening Port"I ran command line prompt and stopped the service with net stop uTorrentI then ran the application which promptly connected and started seeding immediately. So I closed the application and started up the service again usingnet start uTorrentAgain, the application will connect and show seeds but will not upload, showing the "you should change port" listen error.Has anyone come across this bug before? I can kind of see why it's happening but do not know enough about uTorrent to fix the issue.Thanks in advancesnigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 ... why is it happening? You can't have two uTorrent.exe instances running on the same port... which is the only idea I have. Multiple users (LOCALSYSTEM and your Administrator account) can't run using the same settings.dat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Each copy of utorrent needs a different port and they all need to run in standalone mode (settings + exe in the same dir).In any case, running as a service is completely unsupported.
