Cannot connect to socket #foo to x.x.x.x

Post by MighMoS »

In my transmission statistics log, I'm getting a lot of errors that appear to be connection failures. Are these simply clients that have gone offline, or is something more sinister at work here? I'm using transmission 1.42, there are 155 seeders and 2822 leachers (the torrent is quite large), and I'm "downloading from 13 of 49 connected peers". There are 200 maximum peers for this torrent. I tried using the nightly builds, but they have crashed for me at least every five minutes.

Follows is a brief excerpt from the log:

See the other thread about this problem (net unreachable):
http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtop ... f=2&t=6758

The error-text indicates that you are not using the Mac OS X version but Linux, right?
Darwin kernel refuses the connects to Multicast IPs with "protocol not supported" (EPROTOTYPE in connect(2))
while Linux kernels refuse the connects with ENETUNREACH.
