I wonder if my ISP will try to block my aMule port, so the network speed became slowly.
I suggest aMule to add a 'Dynamic TCP Port' feature, that user can define a port range (ex. 12000~15000), and ask aMule to select one port as the listen port each time we launch aMule (maybe set UDP port=TCP Port+10 and server UDP Port=TCP Port+3 automatically).
That should be useful if ISP or network administrator try to block aMule port.

That would just break everything because most users have to forward their ports in their routers.
If you want this, write a little script juggling your config file before starting aMule.

Meh, Stu, it can be added. Remember UPnP - there shouldn't be a problem if enabled.

[Stu Redman]

Sure it can. But I'm finding it utterly useless. Providers block a list of well used ports, and changing the default port once should totally do the trick. And I do not want this kind of thing in the settings dialog. How would you explain it to the casual user? It's already complicated enough.

If we want to do something useful in this direction, set the ports to something random on first startup instead of the silly 4662.

We should definitely do that. But also allow for what he asks, as most p2p do.
