Could you please specify the steps to reproduce this issue, ie. what do you do to make Anki produce this error message (assuming you are able to consistently reproduce this issue)?

I don’t do anything except use it normally and as I use the flashcards, my anki starts to slow down and then produces this message.

Is your computer particularly old? Do you have any other similar issue with other programs? I ask that because the error message is extremely strange: the computer complains that it ran out of socket buffer, which is usually should not (there should be more than plenty of), and which is not specific to Anki (Anki does not make a particularly big usage of sockets).
