2 things - RC4 encryption enabled and don't use the default port (6881).
Pick a nice high port e.g 40000+ and ensure you have encryption enabled. If 
using Azureus for example, the option is found in 
Tools>Options>Connection>Transport Encryption.
I find the connection will still work fine if you also tick the allow 
unencrypted connections boxes (not present in Ktorrent) - that seems to 
increase the number of available peers I find.
