network.port_range.set doesn't seem to actually have an effect on the connect port (after initialise) #103

The ctrl+x command takes network.port_range.set as a command, and seems happy enough, however after that, the connect port does not update.

Background: I'm now using a vpn provider, and i have to query a connect port. once i get that port, i would like to update it without restarting rtorrent.

So far i've tried -updating the code to accept a SIGHUP as a sign to perform a config reload, but that didn't work because of some settings not liking being changed, -cutting down a config file to just have network.port_range=12345-12345 -using CTRL+X and typing network.port_range=12345-1234, or port_range=12345-12345, or network.port_range.set=12345-12345

If there's a way to do this without restarting that's great, I just have been googling and hacking for a couple of days intermittently and it's been difficult. I can't imagine i'm the only person wanting to be able to change their port while rtorrent is up, any ideas?

ok so somehow i've managed to open this in libtorrent instead of rtorrent. apologies for the confusion. I found another thread basically wanting this and saying its currnetly not possible, but it had some xmlrpc commands at least which is a starting point to dig! thanks anyway!
