KDE Connect can't send files

Error in journalctl:
kdeconnectd[3574]: kdeconnect.core: CompositeUploadJob::startListening() - Error opening a port in range 1739 - 1764
kdeconnectd[3574]: kdeconnect.core: CompositeUploadJob::startListening() - Error opening a port in range 1739 - 1764


Firewall rules are present to allow the ports.
Issue seems to be from KDEConnect using every single one of these ports for things that I don't recognise. I don't want to mess with it without knowing what I'm doing. Anyone know what I should do in this situation?

Solution
I solved it by just disabling a bunch of the plugins that I didn't need under the KDE plugin config and then restarting.

It looks like there's just too many things it tries to do but not enough ports to do all of them. Unsure if it'll come back, but for now I can send files finally.

EDIT: The fix was technically restarting, but the error comes back again after a while.
