Package: bittorrent
Version: 3.4.2-11
Severity: normal

I block outgoing except where desired and since starting bittorrent 
(btlaunchmany), mh firewall logs have gone crazy.  It seems bittorrent is 
trying to make outdoing connections on random ports to random ports (rather 
than only on the defined port range 6881-6999).  Is this normal, and is there 
any way to change this behaviour so that my firewall logs aren't polluted.

I'm puzzled by this behaviour since the uploading and downloading works fine 
anway, so I don't know at all why it is trying to do this, and it makes me 
nervous.
