symptom

Error: "10053 WSAECONNABORTED"

cause

Winsock 10053 error description:  A connection abort was caused internal to the host machine. The software caused a connection abort because there is no space on the socket's queue and the socket cannot receive further connections.

fix

These error messages are actually winsock warnings that are supposed to be logged to a debug screen.  Unless other connection issues are evident, they should be ignored.

These messages will be moved to the proper screen in a future version of Excelerator.

note

WinSock description:  The error can occur when the local network system aborts a connection. This would occur if WinSock aborts an established connection after data retransmission fails (receiver never acknowledges data sent on a datastream socket).

TCP/IP scenario: A connection will timeout if the local system doesn't receive an (ACK)nowledgement for data sent. It would also timeout if a (FIN)ish TCP packet is not ACK'd (and even if the FIN is ACK'd, it will eventually timeout if a FIN is not returned).
