That policy prohibits all access from your local systems to the
Internet. And it does so silently (No log messages are produced). It is
NOT the default -- the default is

loc          net        ACCEPT

Changing that policy will allow bittorrent from your local systems (and
all other access like web, DNS, email, etc).

That policy prohibits all access from the firewall to the Internet. You
have a couple of rules above that allow DNS, Ping, and Web access BUT
THAT IS ALL. So if you want bittorrent access from the firewall itself,
you need to add something like:

BitTorrent/ACCEPT       $FW     net

in /etc/shorewall/rules.

It depends on whether you want to run a bittorrent client on the
firewall or on a local system behind the firewall. See above.
