Strange outgoing connection, port 6881.

Look at the pictures below. I've lately noticed an outgoing connection from port 6881. It always shows after some time Deluge's been running, but the strange thing is, it would not go away after quitting Deluge. In fact, it remains active 40 minutes after quitting Deluge, and I wasn't able to get rid of it, short of restarting the computer. Locking the firewall with Firestarter has no effect, and if I disconnect the modem, it's activity drops to zero, but the connection remains and becomes active as soon as the modem is reconnected.
OK, just rebooted, so the connection is gone. I use Deluge 0.5.8.5 on Ubuntu 7.10.

try running netstat -tanp|grep 6881 as root to find out which program is using port 6881, the Program column being empty is a sign that the program using that port isn't from the same user as the one running deluge/python

Thanks, that command did a good job. Apparently, 6881 ports belong to receiving clients, and the process responsible for connection was python2.5. Something must have been wrong with Firestarter. It did not update the displayed connections, so that, after quitting Deluge and looking at netstat, nothing was using 6881 port. That solved, let me say that both the current and the previous versions worked very well on my Ubuntu.
