I was recently downloading something from BitTorrent, and it was really slow.
I was playing around with the options and I noticed a few things:

  1. Azureus supports UPnP (universal plug and play).
  2. My router also supports UPnP.
  3. BitTorrent works faster when there’s an open port

Sure enough, when I enabled UPnP in Azureus, my router forwared the BitTorrent port to the appropriate computer. And when I quit Azureus, the port was closed. Now this is how easy everything should be. :-)
