so i figured out firestarter and have these rules in place

inbound
allow
bittorrent - port 6881-6889 - for everyone

Outbound
Restrictive by default, whitelist traffic

Allow
HTTP - Port 80 - for everyone
HTTPS port 443 for everyone
Bit Torrent 6881 - 6889 for firewall host (i think that mean my machine)

the help guide at
http://my.opera.com/ubuntunerd1/blog/h-2

suggests only http (not https)

again look forward to advice and suggestions

thanks
