Windows 10 torsniff v0.1.0 Error: read udp <port> wsarecvfrom: socket larger than buffer or keep-alive activity #88

Description

@kilves76

Windows 10 x64 with latest updates throws this, program has full in/out rights in firewall, port is forwarded on router:

Port 60881 immediate termination:

C:\torsniff>.\torsniff-v0.1.0-windows-amd64.exe -d "C:\torsniff\torrentfiles" -f 90 -e 90 -p 60881 -t 120s -v
running, it may take a few minutes...
Error: read udp [::]:60881: wsarecvfrom: A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself.
could not start: read udp [::]:60881: wsarecvfrom: A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself.

Port 9881 same:

could not start: read udp [::]:9881: wsarecvfrom: The connection has been broken due to keep-alive activity detecting a failure while the operation was in progress.

Port 5881 runs for less than a minute, network traffic is visible, no torrent files collected:

could not start: read udp [::]:5881: wsarecvfrom: The connection has been broken due to keep-alive activity detecting a failure while the operation was in progress.

Port 4881 immediate termination:

could not start: read udp [::]:4881: wsarecvfrom: A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself.

Port 3881 immediate termination:

could not start: read udp [::]:3881: wsarecvfrom: The connection has been broken due to keep-alive activity detecting a failure while the operation was in progress.

I'm unable to say why port 5881 would run but the others don't. Netstat -an shows less than 50 ports being used in all states, all of the above ports tried are free on both computer and router.
