A lot of places are now blocking the default ports for security reasons, so it's recommended to use something else. I use port 50505. So, put that in as your port in Az and then allow that and the java app in Zone Alarm. I've had trouble with Zone Alarm in the past though, dealing with torrents (reason I uninstalled it), but see if you can get it to work. Just run the NAT test in Az and see if it's OK.

also whats the difference between seeds and peers?
peers are the ones leaving thier file open to others for d.l. , right?
and seeds are the ones d.l. themselves?

Yes, the more you have open, the more it'll wreak havoc on your network. I try to download one or two at a time tops, but it really depends on your computer and internet speed.
And you've got seeds and peers backwards. Seeds are completed copies that people are distributed, while peers are literally your peers who are also downloading the files.

Start at the firewall and go from there. Make sure the right ports are open.
