That is indeed the default and it is far greater than anything that is
needed. I usually only set the range to the minimum needed which is
usually 7937-7940. These are used by the server to communicate with the
client. The data transfers are done via the connection ports which are
usually very high port numbers. I also open these ports in the firewall
on the client (aka iptables).
