While not particularly useful for you, it seems to be working on the Python version at least.

Hm odd, the exe seems to work fine for me when checking.

Also looking at the code, it's hard to tell what could possibly have caused that error. Every condition seems to be accounted for. The only possibility I see is if it was specifically an "OSError" that was not accounted for. (The only one I have accounted for is (WinError 10013).

In the latest commit I've added code to handle it and at least print the error from now on. So it will be in the next release whenever that is.

Unfortunately I can't know what the problem was, but it was apparently system related. Perhaps a firewall or local connection issue? Does it still happen now?

Should be addressed in the latest release Beta7
