OH Help- Firewall VS Router

[Provb427]

Something is NOT working! I got my router Port Forwarded to 6881-6889
BUT- The advise that I'm getting about my Windows Defender firewall says to set "new rule" for port 55000.
So I did that and things are still SNAFU! (grrrrrr...)
Earlier I was getting the Green for go on my dash panel. I checked by trying to download a torrent- IT WORKED! YAY!! but then i tried up UPLOAD my torrent. The Announce page worked fine and I was able to upload.
I then went to Download my torrent and all my crap fell apart (I didn't change a thing! I SWEAR). NOW a have a great show that I can't start seeding and people are probably pissed at the new dummass on the block.

Suggestions??? PLEASE
Should I completely deleate the bit torrent clients I have, re- download them and start over? It has worked for a couple of Downloads BUT NOTHING UP!
THANKS for all and any help
