Disconnect: obtained better connection

[Coyote2007]

I am trying to download a TV Show which has only one seeder in a private tracker. Below is a part of my connection logs. I replaced the actual IP of that seeder with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx by removing any other irrelevant IP addresses and connections.

The widely used port in this connection is 15376. As I understand the client tries to establish another connection to my machine by sequentially trying other ports. Result of this attempt is sometimes to kill the existing connection by saying "Disconnect: obtained better connection" and sometimes "Disconnect: Duplicate connection (dropped incoming)".

Is there anything I can do on my side to deny these secondary attempts and to stay connected with the primary port connection?

Regards,

It's uTorrent's uTP feature going into spasm disconnections.

Hopefully a fixable bug -- I've seen it too.
