    Wen i go to download a torrent i get an error message "coulnt listen 10047 address family not supported.

    I've ran winsock fix and still the same error message.
    I have uninstalled bit tornado and reinstalled it but still the same.
    Also got this explanation on google gut i dont understand :

    WSAEAFNOSUPPORT (10047) Address family not supported by protocol family.
    An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used. All sockets are created with an associated "address family" (i.e., AF_INET for Internet protocols) and a generic protocol type (i.e., SOCK_STREAM). This error is returned if an incorrect protocol is explicitly requested in the socket() call or if an address of the wrong family is used for a socket; e.g., in sendto

    Any ideas?

    I dont know this particular Torrent client and this particular error message but it looks like your NAT has not been setup properly.
    It looks like your client is listen on a private IP range such as 192.168.x.y or 172.16.x.y...and is not directly accessible from internet without a proper NAT conf.

    Make such external traffic on port 10490 (Or else) is redirected from your internet modem/router to local port on your torrent client.

    Myself I use Azureus, it is really good and stable.
