I would actually suggest using different ports to route bittorrent traffic through. Many trackers now will not allow you to even connect coming in over the default bittorrent ports (6881-6889). The reason is that a lot of ISP's are now throttling those ports and not allowing the full speed to go through them. I use ports 10500-10510 and my bittorrent transfer move through just fine.

If you have no firewall/router, why the hell not? You do realize that you get a valid IP address through Comcast that goes directly to your computer right? Get something please! And just make sure you portforward applications ports to the right destination IP.
