Many Large ISP's are blocking P2P ports and some have layer 4 filters that detect torrent traffic even if it is run on alternate ports. If you are using the latest version of Azureus you can enable Transport Encryption options under : Tools -> Options... Connection -> Transport Encryption Note: Not all clients support Transport Encryption yet, but if your ISP is blocking torrent traffic and will not make an exception for you, this may get you going.
