That means the port is already being used by something else. You will need to look at your open ports and figure out what program is already using that port

thanks, let me try that

btw, do you need to use this DHT Server together with Scraper? what is the difference between them?

[Raxvis]

The DHT Server is just a normal DHT Server that behaves accordingly. The Scraper just crawls the DHT Network looking for hashes. Originally, the plan was to build a robust DHT Server, and then build a scraper on top of it, so that the scraper only needed scraping code and no DHT code

Sorry to hijack this thread here, i really loved AlphaReign and after you closed it down i was wondering if i can just run it locally (my PC is running 24h either way) and have my own private torrent scrapper;
However i haven't tried it because i don't know if it will work...if you say yes i think i will try it out
