Port numbers in use?

Can someone post what port numbers are normally in use when SubSonic is running?

I ran a trace on my web server (also running subsonic), and I am getting a lot of hits on port 57512, but in and out of my server. They are all UDP traffic, so no actual connection is being made. I ran a ping on the "other" IP address, but no response. From the "other" IP, the source port will vary, but the destination port (on my end) is always 57512.

Is this something I should be worrying about?

Just the default 4040. Not sure if there are any other ones...

I do have "Transmission" running, but not currently downloading anything, or have anything available to upload. I guess it would make sense that I'm on some sort of "list" even if I don't have anything hosted on my machine to download...

Many torrent clients update trackers and do other things using very high port numbers to facilitate the torrent system. If you want to prevent this behavior, it can probably be specified in the client's settings.
