aMule does not use a unix socket for EC

aMule has an option to change the EC port.

wait wait...

i meant... not the port but the listen address

actually if you check netstat you find:
*: <port you can change>

ok...but we should let people set a listening address like: 127.0.0.1

so netstat will show: 127.0.0.1:<port>

why amule EC should be opened to whole world by default?
you need firewall to stop that bla bla bla....

Is not my problem if people can't use a firewall properly when they want stuff to be closed.
