Development: Why must the port be greater than 1024?

Mutella (Linux/Unix) Mutella has been discontinued. We highly recommend you use an actively developed client instead.

There are some servents running on ports smaller than 1024. Why not remove it?

It is my understanding that ports below 1024 are 'reserved' for conventional applications... I suspect the port selected has more to do with not having a likely conflict with another application. Considering the proliferation of Gnutella clients... at this point it would not seem reasonable to change. -- But then again that's just my opinion
