> The range shouldn't be used for your main (and static) listen ports
I agree with that but wouldn't it be a better option to let user choose a range of ports in the Dyn/Priv ports ?
Or for beginners something like :
- start Vuze
- test configured port availability
- available -> continue start
- not available -> test port+1
loop test for i.e. 10, 20, 50 ports... or the designed range in the options
> "The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535".
IANA specs also say :
"The Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151
Registered ports SHOULD NOT be used without IANA registration"
So the use of ports 49152-65535 for Private use (and Dynamic, but private :).
IMHO Azureus/Vuze should allow _only_ ports in the private range. But I know for proxies and people downloading torrents at office/work/school/wherever-you-are-doing-something-else-than-what-you-should , 1025 to 65535 should be left open.
