Arrred games?

Yes, if you have an ISP that's smart enough to slow traffic on the standard torrent ports. However, you have to be sure your router has Upnp enabled, so it'll know to pass torrent traffic through to the new port.

Also, make sure you turn on the encryption protocols to "forced" in the preferences section of µTorrent, and you should be fine.
Right next to that drop-box is a check box that says "allow incoming legacy connections". Should we uncheck this box since we are being as paranoid as possible?
BastDawn:
I did, and my torrents didn't slow. So yes, uncheck it.

Thank you, and while I'm being paranoid but not doing anything, is the firewall that comes with windows (xp on my desktop) good in your opinion?

BastDawn, why should we turn on the encryption protocols to "forced"? I'm curious. I did it, because I trust what you say. It's been disabled in the past when I've downloaded stuff. I bet that's not a good thing.
The encryption protocols can also help alleviate traffic shaping imposed by some ISPs (here's looking at you, Comcast...). Depending on your ISP and setup, Encryption == More Quicker.
