[Adium-devl] Fwd: adiumxtras site

This may be normal, depending on the interpretation of the
observation:

Remember that port 80 is just the request port. Once the server
has received a connection on that port it will allocate another
port for conversation, keeping port 80 available for new requests.
This is typical for most servers that handle more than one
simultaneous client.
