The upload thing.... since you are firewalled, then the only users you may connect to, and share with, are UNfirewalled users. So, even if you are on a torrent with 10 leechers, if they are all firewalled, you won't upload a thing. So, when you turn on a torrent to seed, you may want to take a look at the Peers List to make sure there are unfirewalled leechers you may share with.
As for your home network, you will need to set up a local static IP. That is just the IP on your network that your router will use to identify you. It usually looks something like 192.168.1.xxx. There are instructions on how to do that at
