Does anyone know if it would be safe for me to globally turn off UPnP, since Azureus sucks at it?

UPnP seems to quell my inability to seed, so eh?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

UPnP is unsafe to leave on.  Just set up port forwarding manually.

I *have* port forwarding, and with UPnP off no one can seem to connect to me (lots of connections followed by "CONNECTION RESET BY PEER")

Someone recommended turning on UPnP, and no problems.

Yeah, letting anybody/anything on the network automatically forward ports is just asking for trouble.

That's what a firewall is for.
