It's no wonder people get so frustrated and can't fix their problems. It seems the only consistent is inconsistency.

I was looking through the options on Azureus today, and I think I stumbled across why this fix works. (What I saw made me remember this thread.)
One option under the 'Tracker -> Client' section says "Enable UDP tracker client protocol. This uses the same port number as the TCP server." This option is apparently enabled by default in Azureus.
I'm guessing that BitTornado must allow UDP access as well, and that was what made your fix work.
I think this is a pretty important thing, because conventional knowledge says that it's only TCP ports that need forwarding for BT use, and yet what we've accidentally stumbled upon is that several BT clients do use UDP ports as well.
