Try opening the range 6881-6999 and see if that improves your experience
with Azureus. I have it running on a machine here with no issues at all.

I've just had a look in my logs and there's a similar thing going on here.
However, it doesn't seem to cause any problems.

What I'd guess may be happening (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong)
is that these packets don't have a corresponding entry in the state table,
i.e. Azureus is still trying to pump out data to peers that have
disappeared.
