Newbie here, trying to figure out the firewall thing

Hey all, I know I know, this topic is probably really annoying to many of you. I've been working on my own to solve this problem for hours and hours, and "I just don't get it". I've read through the FAQ's, and a bunch of related stuff on The Traders' Den, followed link after link, but I'm totally lost in the terminology; I'm very ignorant about computers.
In my windows firewall, I made exceptions for my client, Bitlord, and added ports 6881-6889 as suggested. I also have AVG's free edition, but I don't think th free edition has firewall protection.
I want to have efficient download and upload speeds, and of course I don't want to block others' from accessing my music, but I don't want to be at risk from attackers.
Any help would be great. Thanks
