Exclamation Opened Port. Intrusions?

Hi, i just opened my TCP and UPD port of 14157 for my applications like utorrent and a few others. However, after viewing my ZoneAlarm Security Suite homepage security center, i realized that it started blocking thousands of access attempts every 10 seconds I went to the alerts and logs to see that thee were all attempts to my opened port of 1415 from other remote computers. I realized my loss in my router has increased to and immense value as well (could be windows update). My question is if i should be worrying about the blocks, and should i add the port i opened to the firewall? thanks in advance
