Anybody who wants to explain port forwarding to me in layman's terms should feel more than welcome to. Ditto for making sure specific ports have outbound access.

AFAIK, you shouldn't need to map outgoing ports because the outgoing port gets fowarded normally even if there are a lot of computers on the internal network. The confusion exists only on inbound data streams where the destination isn't obvious because several computers are using that port. AFAIK, if bit torrent is well designed, it should transmit its own incoming ports on a standard outgoing port on the server and work fine through a router/firewall from there.
