There is limitation on how any open file handles (this includes sockets too) OS can support. If this limit is reached, you get above exception. If you are on ∗ nix OS, this can be easily increased.
Open /etc/security/limits.conf
I am on Ubuntu so for me I just execute following command from command line
sudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf
and add following two lines
∗ soft nofile 3072
∗ hard nofile 3072
Save and Close the file. I don't know how to load these settings from command prompt but rebooting did the trick. To make sure these changes are done execute
ulimit -n
If you know how to do it on windows please add comment.
Thanks.

For Windows:
1. Log in to Windows using an account with Windows administrator privileges, or use the default “sa” login.
2. Start the regedt32 utility from the run prompt.
3. Select the Registry window HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE.
4. Open the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters.
5. If the TcpNumConnections value exists, go to step 6.
If the value does not exist, add and configure it by completing the steps under “To add a TcpNumConnections value.”
6. Double-click the value.
7. In the DWORD Editor dialog box, select the Decimal option.
8. In the Data text box, enter the maximum number of connections to support.
9. Click OK to return to the Registry key dialog box.
10. If you have completed your tasks in regedt32, select Exit from the Registry menu to quit regedt32 and then restart your computer.
Adding a TcpNumConnections value in the registry editor:
1. Complete the Add Value dialog box as follows:
2. Value Name – TcpNumConnections
3. Data Type – select REG_DWORD from the drop-down list.
4. Click OK.
Complete the DWORD Editor dialog box as follows:
1. Data – enter the maximum number of TCP connections for the computer.
2. Radix – select the Decimal option button.
3. Click OK.
4. The utility adds the new value to the Registry key.
If you have completed your tasks in regedt32:
Choose Exit from the Registry menu to quit regedt32.
Restart your computer.
Hope this helps
