Question on Downloading and ports

[MichaelCampbell]

I have my service running on a non-standard port, (say, for example: 1234), with port 1234 port-forwarded to my subsonic box through the router. Everything works great.

When a user chooses to download a file (which also works fine), does the download go through that same port 1234 or if not, how does it work?

The reason I ask is I'm setting up some QOS rules and I wondered if I could do this by port, or have to resort to some other means.

Thanks

As far as I know all the traffic goes through the open port.
No doubt someone will correct me if I am wrong

Yes, any traffic to your Subsonic Installation is required to pass through the port you specify. Subsonic will not use a different port without telling you. Also, I'm _almost_ certain that the download option would be over http or https (if you configured it that way) rather than ftp. So all the traffic will 1) be standard http and 2) will therefore use the port you specify.
