unblock listen port on bitcomet windows 10

Torrenting slow download speeds, very high upload speeds. A bunch of these rules said windows peer to peer collaboration (some had tcp at the end and I forgot to check for udp but I assume it is there). Boo!!! Although I was looking through my windows firewall advanced security setting a stumbled upon my inboud and outbound rules.

Now in bitcomet the listening port is no loner blocked. I read somewhere to try plugging directly into modem. How might one go about blocking all ports but 43 and 80? Also unfortunately I am using windows so if that is out of your area of expertise that is fine but if not I have uncovered some more info. So I think the problem is unlikely that it is your internet connection. The only reliable method is to block by default all ports other than 43 and 80 for normal web traffic but this still does not stop someone from using torrent over port 43 and 80 and has other undesirable consequences. To expand on blocking torrent traffic, traditionally it is very hard because many traffic are encrypted so packet detection algorithms do not work well.

Hard to say without looking at the error/log files and knowing how your windows was setup. Also if for some reason the torrent clients (or your user) do not have write permission on the drive. Same sort of requirements apply to windows though: If for some reason the HDD is not mounted (think a removable drive that has been 'safely removed') then you cannot write to it.
