What is the problem

(type here)
Stop using default port 8999. Instead set a random port on installation. If there are more than 1 user on same IP using same port it will cause port conflicts. If someone using lets say two desktop and they haven't changed the port on qbittorrent then there'll also be port conflicts. So please change this default port and set something random like other clients out there.

@An0n666 Yes, and the randomized port should be in the 49160-65534 range to avoid conflicts, which every guide to optimizing Bittorrent recommends.

Please put this in 4.2.0, @sledgehammer999

It is long overdue.
