windows azure storage emulator the process cannot access the file

Question

This was a common error in our workgroup when we started to start Azure Storage Emulator either manually or via Visual Studio. Moreover, the issue was not consistent.

Answer 1

Bit-Torrent was hogging the emulator port (10,000). When we were not running the bit-torrent, it used to start-up fine. I haven't yet found a way to resolve the conflict by running either on a different port. I'll update the answer when I find that.
