ports 6881-6889 are the standard (default) ports for the BitTorrent protocol. Many ISPs block these ports because more than likely, 60%+ of their traffic is bittorrent related.
The beauty of programs like Azureus is that they allow you to change the ports that you will be using the protocol on. I personally use 10500-10510. You need one port open for each torrent file you are using. This will not effect the speed, client/tracker negotiation or anything like that. You just need to make sure that you have tcp _and_ udp port forwarded to the specific IP address that you are downloading your BT files to.
