How to run multiple instances of vuze.

[Grambo]

Yeah, they are.
I'm using the ports given by my VPN provider.

I can't change what the listen port is.
It's not in the options afaik

I got the listen port error too when I didn't set 2 different TCP and UDP ports for each instance (aka in the first run of both instances before I changed ports).

Options -> Connection?

That's just the ports for up, downloading and tracker communication.
The listen port is something different and that can't be changed. I don't know what it's for, but still sometimes I get that error msg when running two instances.

Nope, I'm really sure those are the listen ports. It says so on the Azureus Wiki.

The error is:
Failed to establish listen port on port 59000something. Check if another instance of Vuze is running.


Which is the fact.
Something else that's strange is that a third instance launches automatically. That's when the error occurs.

Grambo did you try my configuration?

[Grambo]

Yes I did. I have always used dfferent TCP and UDP ports in Vuze.
I did that in both instances.

I found the problem with the listen port.
It seems thastone instance won't shut down properly when xlickind the X in the corner.
It just made the GUI go away and left the process behind.
So when I started another instance from that same folder it was 2 running with the same config file. That was probably the reason.
After I found that out I haven't had that problem.


It is lack off up-/download which makes it firewalled. As soon as there is some activity the icon changes from red to green.

I've come across a new problem when trying to run two of the later releases.
When I try to change the options they will not last over a restart on the 2nd instance.


Managed to successfully run 2 at once.
Just had to remove the "" from the path.
