Yes there is, laziness, I'm installing uTorrent as I type; I've finally gotten around to backing up all my stuff and reinstalling Windows XP.
*I just want to mention: "XP."
Pharismo:

You should open it from your router's page and add a rule for it in the software firewall.

It may seem to some that I brag about my setup... and they're right. I'm a little proud of it. XD
I have a Linux Homecenter (Homeserver) that stands in the corridor of my basement and runs 24/7. It's an old 1.2 GHz PC with just 256 MB RAM. But it doesn't need more power because it's a headless system without a GUI/Desktopmanager/Whatever. Just plain Shell.
Therefor I use Bittornado's curses Interface for the Shell. It's not nearly that feature-rich like Azureus or µTorrent. But I don't need all those features. I just want that 24/7-box to dl and seed my torrents while I and my normal PC are at sleep.
I mounted the Torrent-Directory shared via NFS from my Homecenter on my Ubuntu Desktop, so when I want to download a torrent I just have to save the .torrent-File into that mounted folder and Bittornado starts downloading within 5 Seconds. If I shutdown my PC the homecenter keeps on downloading and seeding.
That Homecenter needs by far less power than a gaming PC because it's an Office PC without graphics card, sound card, CD Drive, Keyboard and mouse. So it's no problem to keep it running 24/7. ;)
The Interface looks like this:
If someone is interested in an HowTo for such a setup feel free to ask. :D
