I'm really hoping to get this issue resolved because I hate being firewalled. This router is a pain in the ass but I need the wireless connection. Am I still firewalled or is it normal to not connect to that many users while not firewalled? Thanks for reading this much and any help/advice.
Yes, it makes a difference that you are only seeding. Most bt clients have a default to not connect you to other seeds. That is most likely (unless you changed the default) why you are not connecting to any seeds on those two torrents. As for not connecting to all the leechers, I've rarely ever seen that happen (I think the only time I've seen it happen is if I'm the only seeder).
