I might be convinced to switch back to port 81. I originally stopped  
using the default port 80 (and subsequently port 81) because of huge  
volume of Windows viruses and trojans targeting web services a few  
years ago.

It's unfortunate that some corporate IT departments think that locking  
down huge ranges of ports is a good idea. This means that you can't  
access the NPDS server tracker sites either, as they use port 3680 by  
default.
