Hi,

even when connected directly (not through router) I get an exclamation point. I am at a university and they supply the bandwidth i don't even have a modem, just a jack in the wall.

My question is: how bad is this, what am i losing exactly? My speed i can live with so is there any other issue?

Thanks,

On very active torrents, being firewalled in uTorrent isn't a problem...it might even be a blessing in disguise because many of the misconfigured BitTorrent clients are ALSO firewalled.

On torrents with very few peers+seeds, it can be a nightmare...because you may not be able to connect to the remaining peer or seed that has the parts you need to finish the download.
