Unless you have made suitable configurations to it, the wndows firewall will allow you to connect out but others cannot connect in. Therefore you will get NO REMOTE connections and your speed will always be low.

There are such things as Port 80 trackers, they are rare but they do exist. The transparent proxies we are all forced to use will stop REMOTE connections on Torrents using a Port 80 tracker. Once again with only local connections your speed will be rediculously low. If this is the case, unless you can find the same torrent on a non port 80 tracker you will just have to grin and bear it or give up.
