Lightbulb Need to add options to skip known blocked ports

I'm tired of all these ISPs blocking ports and making my Limewire not work.

Here is a suggestion to fix the problem. First allow limewire to skip hosts that use known filtered ports. This should be an option for hosts behind a blocking firewall, not everybody. These people can list the ports that they know are being blocked and then Limewire will just look for hosts that are running on nonblocked ports.

Also when Limewire is searching it can only list QueryHits that are to hosts that are allowed past the known blocked port list.

Limewire can also run it sever port on an alternate port from the known blocked list.

We should also be able to choose to never request Pushes when we know our firewall will not allow connections (ie 192 and 10 ip addresses).

We need to break away from the well known port rule to a more flexable one. It would be good to have a host cache that listed only hosts that were using non standard ports, even running on a non standard port!
