can you tell me what line to add to allow bittorrent to work? thanks:

If you do a "sockstat -4 -l", you'll see which port(s) your bittorrent
client is listening on. Then simply allow any incoming traffic to that/
those port(s).

Similarly, "sockstat -4 -c" will show all connected ports, including
outgoing, so you can make sure you're not blocking anything outgoing from
bittorrent as well. You'll want to temporarily disable your firewall to
glean any useful information from this, of course.

Hope this helps. I'm not all that familiar with ipfilter usage. I've
always just used ipfw, myself.
