    When you are not port forwarding you can only download from users who are actually port forwarding, or am I incorrect?

      Partially, it’s accurate when using the BT protocol. However if you use uTP (Micro Transport Protocol), it has “support for NAT traversal using UDP hole punching between two port-restricted peers where a third unrestricted peer acts as a STUN server.”
