I think the problem is that there are blocked ports, and that might be in the announce.php, I found a script in there:

 
if (portblacklisted($port))
                err('Port '.$port.' is blacklisted.');
            else {
                $sockres = @fsockopen($ip, $port, $errno, $errstr, 5);
            if (!$sockres)
                $connectable = "no";
            else {
                $connectable = "no";
                @fclose($sockres);
                }
            }

I tried changing ''no'' to ''yes'' and it seems to be working, but could that be the only place in the whole script that's blocking ports? Or should I be looking for more? Could you please point me in the right direction?
Also another question, can someone please explain to me, how does SSH affect bittorrent?
