Thanks Hew, Wouldn't it be better if they reverted to being closed - if so, how can one do that apart from complicated rules for mail, firefox etc?
The reason I asked originally was because whenever I close Azureus, when I next open it the port I was using is no longer available. Can I write a script that would run to reset the port when Azureus is re-opened, thus making it available again? I'm not savvy on port opening/closing despite having tried to find info on it.
