For the past month and including last night, utorrent has been working perfectly for me. Just recently i updated to utorrent 2.02 build 16948 via automatic updates. Was working fine last night with no errors, then this morning i turn on my computer and open up utorrent to countine downloading some stuff and now i get this error:

An Attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permission

Urm, whats wrong since everything was working fine last night and my pc was off so how did some settings change in 8 hours by itself? I have tried running utorrent as admin and my OS is Windows 7 64 bit

None, just the default windows firewall and utorrent is added to the windows firewall exception list (thats what the preferences say as well as when i look at the firewall settings in control panel)

I've been using uTorrent for more than 2 years now and this is a new occurrence for me as well.

In my case however it appears to be because I've added a few new lists to peerblock, so it's not really a problem I can't fix. I added these new lists because I noticed a throttling attempt on some of my activities. Looks like it's time to set up proxy. Something I should have done a long time ago.
