Defaults to port 8085

[DavidLynch]

Started about a month ago it always defaults to port 8085 on a new install and when I try to manually change it back to 8080 in the options. Nothing it taking up port 8080 and it's kind of driving me insane

The message that SABnzbd gets from the OS is that 8080 is occupied.

Yeah but that's the thing, nothing is occupying 8080

Well, that's what Windows reports to SABnzbd, I don't know why.
Your only option is to use another port.

Same issue here on a fresh install on Windows. Sab doesn't seem to be reporting any issues with port 8080. netstat shows nothing listening on 8080. Anything else I can check?

I figured out my issue. Avast 2014 was preventing anything to listen on 8080 and 8081. I couldn't easily find anywhere in avast to unblock this or create an exception/exclusion so I uninstalled it and went for another antivirus.

PS..I hate windows..
