It is suggested that you use one of the following: Command line options for bitcoin-qt -maxconnections=<n> Maintain at most <n> connections to peers (default: 125) -listen Accept connections from outside (default: 1 if no -proxy or -connect) so set maxconnections to something smaller or "-listen 0". Upstream developers suggest turning off "listen" by using the command line options or config file. I'll leave this open as a pointer for others who are interested in it as well.
