deluge not using assigned ports

[tsr-nc]

I am working on getting deluge to accept outside connections and have assigned 61185 to deluge however it does not accept this and will pick a random one instead. I am behind a Nat router and fall-wall and so i need deluge to use a static port. I have read that deluge will ignore assigned ports if the port is unavailable but that is not the case as you can see below(deluge is python2 here). if there is a way to have deluge auto open a port through my firewall and auto route through my router via UPnP then that would also work.

Code: Select all

## netstat -tunlp

I have found that if I modify the port from/to values (in Deluge's network preferences) and click apply TWICE Deluge will begin using the assigned ports.
