Torrent clients perform best if they can use a port which is reachable
from outside. it can be any port whatsoever, as the port your client is
using is announced via the trackers.
some torrent clients seem to require a different port for each torrent,
while others can handle multiple torrents concurrently with a single
port. my favorite client is the MS Windows only uTorrent, 2nd favorite
is the portable java based Azureus.
