After switching to the GTK2 version (BTW: love the new layout), I've started paying more attention to the sources for downloads. And I've noticed that the port number shown in the "downloads->sources" tab are often (I believe) incorrect.
An example: I currently have two downloads running. The first is drawing from x.x.x.x:1320. The second is drawing from x.x.x.x:1332 (Same IP, different port). But, if I attempt to "browse host" for either of them, the new search is created as x.x.x.x:37465. I'm assuming that this means that both downloads are from the same host, and that the port numbers reported in the sources pane are incorrect. Note that I have my "max downloads from a single host" set to one. But as far as I can determine, I have two active downloads against this source. OK - just for the heck of it, I started up another file download that the above-listed host has available. I now have *3* downloads from that host. The third one shows as x.x.x.x:1336. Browse-host still maps to x.x.x.x:37465. I could see a situation like this happening, if the vendor (Limewire in this case) had support for some kind of load-balancing scheme (i.e. requests for downloads handled by one server, but downloads actually served from another, as with some web servers). But AFAIK no Gnutella servent supports anything that sophisticated... Another data point - when it auto-creates the THEX data download, it's listed against port 37465...
