Need to release these first. Check thread id of calling function and called function, means where socket object are created and where socket are trying to close. If both are same then it is difficult to say what is the exact problem then may i need to check code but if these two thread are different id then you have to close socket in same thread where it is starting.

I think it could be a syncronization problem. Do you have an idea about changes I have to do for transfer succesfully 5 small files in the same TCP connection through the Internet?
