Package: azureus
Version: 2.3.0.4-3
Severity: wishlist

On multi-user operating systems, it would make sense to run one azureus 
instance/user. The current implementation, which always checks port 6880 for 
a running instance, only allows one instance/machine. (Unless 
-DMULTI_INSTANCE=true is given, in which case a new instance is started every 
time.)

Current behavior:
If I am running azureus on my uid, and my roommate (who is logged in
on the same computer) tries to start one, azureus tries to feed his
arguments to my instance instead. (I'm not sure if it works, but it's
not what I want anyway.)

Wanted behavior:
If no azureus instance is running with the users uid, an instance is
started. If an instance already exists with the users uid, args are
passed to it.


Proposed solution 1 (quick):
Add a setting for which port to check and use for the StartSocket.

Proposed solution 2 (good, but perhaps platform dependent):
Check ports within some (hard coded) range for a running instance with
the same uid as the starting instance. Start a new instance if none is
found.
