Hi,

I'm getting an error message regarding port 8080 not being free whenever I try to start up the content server in calibre.

Now, I realise that that's probably caused by something else on my system holding on to the port, so I tried changing the port that calibre used to test this out. I got the same error message, still regarding port 8080, and when I opened the settings again they had reverted to 8080.

Forgot to mention - System is Vista Ultimate.

As a second, minor issue - would it be possible to allow typing the port number into the field in Settings? Having to scroll down from 8080 to, say, 80 would be a pain.
