Why does vlc keep trying to connect to net from different ports? When one is blocked it tries another

By default VLC tries to download the covers corresponding to the media you are playing and also checks for an update.
You can change this behaviour in the Preferences -> Interface and look for "Album art download policy" and "Activate updates notifier".
When done then save, exit and restart VLC for the changes to be applied.

OK thank you. That is only reason for connection?
Where the covers stored I have not seen them
VLC is great but i think all progs shouldhave default not connect, peolpe can connect if they want to. I did not even know about this until i was checking something else and noticed the firewall alerts

VLC asks you about that the first time you run it...
