80 is a bad choice, only root can usually bind ports with numbers < 1024.
Which requires starting mldonkey as root, the use run_as_user or
run_as_useruid settings to drop all unnecessary rights as soon as
possible...

Under Linux, binding to privileged ports is controled by the "capability"
CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE, so an alternative to using run_as_user or
run_as_useruid would be to run 

# sucap mldonkey mldonkey 'cap_net_bind_service=eip' mlnet

(mldonkey:mldonkey being the user and group you want to run mlnet under)
