That's a good question, and one I don't have an immediate answer to. I don't use torrents. I do use Zone Alarm. I know it can take some configuring to allow some programs the access you want them to have.

Install it and see. If there's conflict, disable it until you get it configured correctly....or perhaps you can ask the question in our Firewalls forum, or the Zonelabs User Forum. (You'll need to register there to pose a question)

Hope that helps.
