The "never let the system pick a random port" feature in libtorrent 1.6 is
perfect, but something similar can be done for older clients too:
* Start an instance of libtorrent.
* Query the port.
* Is it the port you wanted? No? Kill the libtorrent instance.
* Wait X seconds.
* Start an instance of libtorrent again.
* Is it the port you wanted? No? Die with "unable to bind to desired
port."
This allows people that have bound a static port in their router (not
using UPnP) to have a working torrent daemon since it will never try to
bind to the wrong port.
