I don't think the issue is the bittorrent client specifically.  The
has to do with whether or not the local firewall should be trusting
these kind of requests for port opening from applications generally..
without knowledge as to purpose or intent. Whose to say that the next
application to need this functionality isn't doing so for malicious
means.
