Error connection reset by peer (10054)

Post by Noud Bekkers »

I get regurlarly the message: Error connection reset by peer (10054). Normally the server has 3 connections. Now I can use only one. Does anyone know what is wrong?
Thanks in advance.

depends, if you get the message with a certain server you should contact them.

if you have it with all servers, it might be something on your side (firewall, router etc). as to newspro it just gets reported about the error from the winsock layer.

you can make the error recoverable in properties->general, then newspro will retry in such cases (since it is a socket error add the error code there - 10054 separated by | from the rest, e.g. too*many|limit|timeout|10054)

Is there a way to tell NP to wait 15 minutes before retrying, on a per-connection basis? Let's say the server allows 4 connections, and some time after NP opens 4, one of them errors with 10054. If the remote end is still counting it as one of the 4 allowed, that will timeout in 15 minutes. Retry attempts before it times out get code 502 "Maximum number of connections reached".

in both UE and newspro there is connection delay option in properties->servers, you need to set it on per server basis.

but then it will also have to wait for 15 minutes.

maybe you better set connection delay to several seconds (it was the intention when introducing it, just to let the server a little time to bring connection count in order since closing connection from the client side is asynchronous operation). then you can add the maximum number of connections reached to "exceeding download limit" in properties->general in UE, in newspro i think the same pane. since all connections will be affected when server is suspended better you add several copies of the server each with 1 connection.

in newspro you cannot add server with the same name straight - you need define several names associated with the server ip address in the hosts file and then use those names as the server name.

in UE you can do it, as to now there is also unlimited UE trial for newspro users in the newspro download area ( www.usenetopia.com -> legacy, newspro) which is fully functional version and it covers all essential newspro features, but better you check full UE trial first.

if will complaint about aliases - uncheck properties->general->check for aliases.

if it is not a free server maybe you better complain to their support, it is apparently a server error in calculating connections. also verify it indeed gives errors for 15 minutes, maybe it is much less, then you can use connection delay option exclusively.
