Status bar keeps saying "no incoming connection" until "check active port" is used in prefs

Hi ! It's almost completely described in the title ! Say it "longer" : (it's deluge 1.1.4 - Ubuntu 8.10 - Fr) Launch Deluge (add a new torrent or restart previously existing torrent) I have (in the Deluge status bar) a red square with a white "X", saying "no incoming connection". This keeps remaining until (can last for 1/2h, not tried more) I go to the "Network" tab under Preferences. There, I have to "check the active port" (I have 6881 to 6889, wih random ports deactivated), which removes immediately this status-bar information. Please note that this occurs only when I start Deluge after 1 or 2 days (if I start & do this & restart Deluge, the "no incoming connections" does not appear) It seemed to me that it was a question of closed port or not-forwarded port, but I checked my routers and everything is ok there, and I can always download a torrent, even when having this behavior. Many thanks in advance for any clue / troubleshooting information you can provide, and (last but not least !) : GREAT APP !!!

This isn't really a bug.. When you do the 'check active port' you are making an incoming connection on the port and the warning will go away. The real cause of the problem is that your simply not getting any incoming connections during that time frame, which isn't necessarily a problem, but can happen when you have few torrents or are in small swarms.
