if your using a router, then open up ports (port forwarding) on the router for each bittorrent client.
Personally i would switch over to uTorrent, it's smaller and only requires one port to be open (easier to set up on the port forwards).
Eitherway, have a look on www.portforward.com for any help on setting up ports on a router
