So does the host have no HTTP/HTTPS access, or name server lookups etc? BT will use all those ports these days.

Of course, if it had been compromised then maybe the firewall got altered and then put back again afterwards but this all gets a bit far-fetched for the sake of downloading a movie by BitTorrent. Like I say, I looked into it and couldn't find any indication that it had actually happened, and the reporting company was completely impossible to communicate with.
