    initial v1  
    11I think provide a single port with no randomization and just give a popup if it cant bind to the specified port saying the port is in use or something...like what is fairly common(imo) in other programs. Then optionally we can try and add something like other programs have that tells you what is using that port. I know i have a http server program on windows and it does this i tell it a port and for example ill say use port 80 and if i have skype open it uses 80 so the http server says something like "unable to bind to port 80, in use by skype.exe". Not sure how easy that last part would be to implement cross platform though.

     4Also maybe instead of a random port just pick one from the range 6881-6889 which is common for bittorrent and therefore should be open unless the user has many bittorrent clients open or for some random reason so other app decided to also ignore common defaults and picked a random port in this range.
