Hi, Since you have to open an incoming connection as well (for example port 6881 should be open or forwarded though your firewall) I don't think that you will gain much with bit torrent.
Does your FW blocks outgoing connections to 6969? Note that most BT trackers use non standard ports. Maybe you can try your ISP isp proxy.
