Deluge Forum

Hello,

Brand new Windows 11 install, latest version and when I try and launch I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

PermissionError: [WinError 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?

It shows an error usually related to port already used by other process, or antivirus/firewall app/rule blocking/interfering. Try change port used e.g can do manually in %appdata%\deluge\core.conf under listen_ports, maybe also outgoing_ports, and/or enable 'random_port". There's also a daemon-port of 58846 which I guess could be already used to. I'm not at my computer now, so cannot check in my windows VM if such scenario triggers that error. Strange though as atleast I remember in older times deluge had an option enabled for letting libtorrent change port accordingly if already in use, but as said could also be antivirus/firewall, or main daemon-port. You can momentarilly try disable antivirus/firewall if changing port don't help, also if running a VPN then disable too, and maybe try running deluge as admin, just shortly of-course for quick test, if you feel safe about it.

Got it. Had to setup port forwarding in the PIA vpn client.

Thanks!
