If you ask ten different people this, you're likely to get ten different answers. It probably depends what you want, really, in addition to how much you're prepared to fiddle.

Matousec do some decent testing of host-based firewalls like this one which you can find online. They rank yours as 'poor', but I can't comment either way, as I've never used or tested it!

If uTorrent is configured to listen on a port in the range 61320-61330 and you got the IP address correct, then yes, that looks like an appropriate portforward to get bittorrent working.

In order for your port forward to work, the IP address you specify in the port forward rule would have to match the IP address of the host the bittorrent client was running on.

This would probably also mean you would want to ensure the host retained the same IP address by specifying it statically or using a DHCP Reservation.
