mRatio 10013 error

[Pickle]

Hello,

I faced this error with mRatio, the long message of that error.

An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

I was testing mRatio on windows 7. First i thought this may be a mRatio's bug, because expacially at same torrent i got this error message. Later i made a little search.

In same situation, first thing you should do is looking at your firewall and antivirus software which can block that connection. Temporarily disable them an try again.

If no solution, temporarily disable UAC and try again.

If no solution, you use an ip blocker like peer guardian etc.. temporarily disable it.

My situation was about peer guardian, after disabling it, this error message went away.

keep going with sbi

Thanks for sharing!

PG's filtering driver was never known for being stable, unfortunately. Better use PeerBlock, a better fork, or P2PFire, if you're on XP.

actually what i use is peerblock!

Well, I was misled by this part of your post.

My situation was about peer guardian, after disabling it

By the way, where are my manners... great to see you around, man.

Honestly, i didn't remember the name of peerblock at the time of writing that post so i called it peerguardian and i thought if users have peerblock, they would understand that anyway, that is ok :) i become very lazy nowadays to click on tray icon and to get the application name. :)

great to see you around, man.

Good to see you too, you are the first at sbi records book again :)

True, although for XP systems it's much better than anything using PG code. No driver lockups and extremely low resource usage.

actually i was using PeerBlock 1.0+ (r484) (released October 21, 2010), it can be a beta bug of it or something with tracker ips. I am around filesharing community at least 5 years but i really didn't see an application which is decent for blocking ips.

Using build in ipfilter features looks like better but even i use ipfilters with emule or utorrent i still get blocked P2P ip number in peerblock, peerguardian etc.. the reason can source from different ipfilter.dat files but honestly, layered protection is the way expacially using high scored trackers with peerblock etc..

Personally I havent used p2pfire on XP machine, however tried it on VMware XP. When I still used XP I didnt experience any lockups but occasionally PG wold bump up the CPU to maybe 1-2% for a second but then go down again.

After PG wasnt updated in a while I switched to PB and found it even faster especially when browsing, and it too hardly uses any resources with more updated code than PG.

But if it works for u and u can still get the latest blocklists its personal choice

The message it's clear:

An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

Meaning mR didn't had full permissions to access the internet and that's one of mR requirements.
Antivirus, firewalls, blocking programs anything that doesn't give permission to access the internet will result on mR not working.
