OK thanks (to both of you).

I got started about 2-3 weeks ago on Bittorrent and one thing I've learned is that a lot of the FAQs, advice, guidelines, etc that I have been reading on the 'net seem to be outdated or just don't apply in various ways. For instance over and over in general bittorenting guides I had read that I needed to open a "range of ports from blah blah to blah blah" in my firewall and router but when it came down to it I only needed to open one port that I set in uTORRENT, not a range.

Anyways, looks like I've got my first torrent up & running over here! Sweet.
