WSAECONNABORTED - Error 10053

Question/Problem: WSAECONNABORTED (10053) Software caused connection abort.

Answer/Solution: A connection abort was caused internal to your 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.

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).

I would say this indicates a problem with your network or with the server.
