Optimizing Vuze

[Lanikan]

I was following an article on Gizmo's Freeware about Optimizing Vuze for speed. Followed all the steps and everything seems to work well except when I tried to test incoming UDP traffic on port 49001 on canyouseeme.org I get an error "Connection timed out" and on the NAT/Server Port Test I get:

Testing port UDP 49001 ...
Sending outbound packet and waiting for reply probe (timeout=5000)
Sending outbound packet and waiting for reply probe (timeout=10000)
Sending outbound packet and waiting for reply probe (timeout=15000)
Sending completion event
NAT Error. Inbound test failed, PRUDPPacketHandler:sendAndReceive failed, Socket is closed.

I have configured incoming exception rules for this on both my router and firewall which I received a success on both for the UDP and TCP Listening port I specified.

I am still getting terrible download speeds on my torrents for example I currently have one running that has 27802 seeds and 18738 peers and my download speed is sitting at around 4kBps. But when I stop the downloads and do a speed test I am getting around 130kBps download and around 50kBps upload. Please if anyone could assist I would appreciate it I have been struggling with this for a few months now.
