Bug Description
In dapper, I could fire up multiple torrent downloads with gnome-btdownload without any issues. Since upgrading that machine to edgy, every download after the first will halt with the error "Couldn't listen - (98, 'Address already in use')".
Did something change in gnome-btdownload whereby it no longer increments the listening port with each new download, or some such thing? At any rate, rather irritating to not be able to download multiple things in parallel anymore.

Ahh, a quick poke in the source shows that this is because max_port and min_port are set to the same thing in the defauly gconf schema we now ship in edgy. Perhaps it would be prudent to give it an 8-port (6881-6889) window or something, to allow at least a few downloads at once, and not confuse people like me. :)
