There are few easy way to do an independent check.
To start with what client are you using (torrent program)?
I used BitTornado. The thing about getting false indications makes sense, because each time I'm shown as FIREWALLED I go to www.canyouseeme.org and check the port, which says it is not blocking traffic. But, the speeds at which I'm downloading are at the level of a firewalled port, so I'm a bit confused.

I got on this morning and am getting a Green Light and normal speeds! I changed absolutely nothing, so I have no idea why it's working fine now, but I've learned not to question good fortune!
