OK, well some information about why you can still download when not forwarded, I'll refer to TheShad0w's guide @ http://bt.degreez.net/firewalled.html

HTTP downloads @ 800 KiBps means I'd gather you have a 8 Mbit cable line. The reason this is not the same for bittorrent (uTorrent) traffic is due to many ISPs shaping blocking or otherwise mangling filesharing traffic to "discourage" usage of it by their customers. If you've tested OpenOffice or Slackware as mentioned in the Setup Guide or How-To, and can achieve those speeds (500) then it's a matter of not enough peers on those swarms are forwarded.

Having read through the How-To and finding problems, you can check out my post to see if it clarifies things for you. If you've got specific questions please report below the steps you were able to do, and which steps you are stuck on :)
