NAT Errors... How Do I Fix Them?

I just updated to uTorrent v. 1.1.3 but I still keep getting a NAT Error. How do I get rid of them? The part in FAQs acknowlages them, but doesn't say HOW to get rid of them. I think that this error is responsible for my intolerably slow downloads. I've got an .iso downloading. In the peers column, it has 5(1553) and the speed fluctuates between 0 kbps and 20 kbps, but probably averages 4 kbps.

Yeah, a router. I've tried uninstalling the firewall completely so it can't be that. The router is a D-Link DSL 504t.

Silly you, you can't uninstall a hardware firewall. If you want to put effort into it, forward ports and/or set up UPnP, but if you're lazy like the 99.999% of people out there, setting your router to DMZ your local IP will completely un-firewall you.

WARNING: This totally defeats the purpose of having a router as a NAT (and maybe also SPI/anti-DoS) firewall and makes you much more susceptible to being hacked, catching viruses/Trojans, and other malicious things.
