slightly off topic :

if you fear someone might be snooping on you for using p2p software, use peerblock from phoenix labs...it blocks certain IP, like those of known anti p2p organizations, government, etc...your computer can't access them and they can't access ur computer..

you can change the port your torrent client uses to connect to the internet to prevent the above problem..for utorrent it is available under : Preferences>Connection>Listening Port.

Also uncheck the option "Randomize port each start"
