Description
In addition to having a visual network status indicator (#603), there needs to be network settings similar to what is found in other peer2peer clients.
Some things that should be included:
connection_status: code & message
blocks_behind, if zero then return up-to-date
startup_status
toggle use_pnp
set peer_port
simple port status check (open or closed)
set random port option
set proxy port
be able to set upload and download bandwidth limits (upload is more important)
bandwidth test and auto-set upload bandwidth perhpas
be able to change reflector server
