Increasing number of sockets

[yolanjoy]

I've this issue where I see the number of sockets goes on increasing gradually after the mldonkey is started.
MLDonkey is running on Ubunti 22.04 Enabled networks are edonkey and bit-torrent.

Is it just me or someone else see this happening as well?

Thanks

need more information
what is the number of sockets over what time, does it always increase or sometimes decrease, what are the sockets actually (ss -unp | grep by mlnet pid), are there any errors in logs, sysinfo output

Looks like the increase in the connection (EST) is on the bittorrent TCP port. I see lots of client connections over 42K on that port. This increase was over 24hrs period since the startup.

`# ss -a | grep EST | grep ":>" | wc -l

42012
`
mlnet log shows these messages for a number of client connections

IP is blocked
unexpected exn exec can_read
blocked: Unknown
TCP: too many orphaned sockets ( dmesg )

Other than these I don't see any other errors anywhere.
