I tried utorrent 1.8.1, here is what you can see in the logger window when running as normal user: Code: [2008-11-08 01:27:26] TCP port bind failed 0.0.0.0:100: (10013) Error 10013 [2008-11-08 01:27:26] UDP port bind failed 0.0.0.0:100: (10013) Error 10013 this is what you see (at the same time) in wine: Code: WARNING: Trying to create a socket of type SOCK_RAW, this will fail unless you have special permissions. WARNING: Trying to create a socket of type SOCK_RAW, this will fail unless you have special permissions. doesn't that mean I will be in passive mode all the time ?
