Port change setting not applied until KTorrent restart

I'm using a tracker that forbids the default port 6881, so when I tried to download a torrent and got an "Invalid response" status, I went in the settings and changed the port; however, neither the apply nor OK buttons actually applied this setting, since the status error remained. I loaded the log viewer module to make sure that was the problem. Upon restarting KTorrent, the setting was applied and now everything works just fine.

Obviously this is a minor issue, I just thought I'd post it to let you guys know if you didn't already. :) Maybe put a notice in the preferences page to say that KTorrent has to be restarted when changing this setting?

This could must been changed along with the new socket code, because IIRC KTorrent didn't need a restart for this in the past.

We only change the port when no torrents are loaded, switching ports in the middle of a download is not advisable.

I didn't thought of that, i should have known this.
Nanaki, stop torrents first and try again, if you've the same issue then please poke this topic again.
