Release Port Mapping at shutdown

The Upnp feature is great so I don't have to mess with my network settings to get utorrent to work correctly.

However even after all these updates and betas it is still not releasing the mappings when it is closed this leads to my router having a whole list of ports mapped to utorrent when it does not need them and eventualy for security reasons I end up haveing to reboot my router to clear it out.

Can we get this sorted please it should not be that hard to get utorrent to send a release command to the upnp device when you close the program since every other torrent client that supports upnp does it.

example of what i mean:

This is what my router returns when I only have 1 instance of utorrent running anywhere on my network.

i'll reboot my router and check they could be leftovers from 1.4

---edit---

Ok I rebooted my router then checked it's mappings list which was empty

I started utorrent 1.5 and checked it again and there was one entry for utorrent.

Restart utorrent and check again and now there are two entries for utorrent.

and since it could not get the set port because the router still had one mapped it bumped the external port sequentialy up by one.

But the point is it's obviously not working as far as release goes or I would not now have two entries

As far as I know there is nothing wrong with the Upnp support as every other piece of Upnp enabled software I use opens and closes the ports it needs just fine it's only utorrent that does not do it right hence why there is nothing in that list but utorrent

I have also noticed this happening with Upnp with previous builds and now 1.5. I have a Linksys WRK54G.
