Port choosing bug

There is a limit on the port range (1-65535) however during the first run of utorrent I've entered the port 234944. It didn't complain or moan about that at all; plus I 'need' to open such a high port to get an open port at my university. I'm thinking it works fine as I was able to get a few megs per second there with uploading, however now when I try to change settings (not related to the port) I get the whole please enter a valid port number message.

I guess the bug is that it allowed me to use such a high port from that dialogue you get when running utorrent for the first time. It actually seems to use the port though.

I'd like to see higher port-ranges enabled if at all possible... or I guess you could just also limit the initial dialogue.

uT does byte-rollovers when a port outside of the allowable range is entered (according to Ludde).

The port you specified would most likely end up being 38339 when the listener socket is actually bound (feel free to check TCPView or Netstat).
