utorrent upgrade resets port settings

A number of people have just upgraded their utorrent installation to the latest version. Now quite a lot of people I know deliberately tweak various settings to avoid the use of the torrent protocol being detected by their isp. One of the techniques used is to set the outgoing port range to something unusual that their isp does not normally associate with the use of the torrent protocol so as to avoid "traffic shaping" which might slow down their connection. Be aware that the latest utorrent upgrade resets net.outgoing_port and net.outgoing_max_port to zero, totally defeating the tweaks people may have made before. Why? Don't ask me - stupid stupid stupid and why oh why oh why. If you can actually remember what you set these to before the upgrade (you DID document it didn't you?) you will have to set them again before your isp cottons on and degrades your p2p bandwidth.
