Title: V0.50 bitcoin client leaking connections behind TOR (identity leak)

I noticed I was getting connections while downloading the block chain, even when I stopped TOR.  People much smarter than me can say whether your identity can be leaked.

I fixed the problem by unchecking "Map port using UPnP"
It now seems to close connections when I stop TOR
