> 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.
