A website on using BitTorrent with linux had suggested setting max_upload_rate to 48 and max_uploads to -1. This apparently hurts. 20 and 4 seem to be good values. I had naively assumed that if I was getting upload rate at all, then the download machine firewall was letting the connects through. Forgive me, I just wasn't awake. I added bittorrent to /etc/services for both tcp and udp on 6881 through 6889, and used Fedora's system-config-securitylevel to turn bittorrent:tcp and bittorrent:udp on in the firewall. I guess that I need to read about the bittorrent protocol in more depth in order to understand why it was working at all. I'm not sure that I can develop the interest to do so. Thanks to everyone for all of the helpful suggestions and testing.
