Hi, guys

I'm just wondering if you could help me. I know it seems weird but i need to disable the firewall so that i can download from BitTorrent. I think I've disable the Windows firewall because it said OFF on Windows Security. And I didn't have any other firewall installed. But when I checked the firewall test, it said "CLOSED" so there MUST be a firewall that turned on. Is there any program that could tell which firewall is ON? I've tried opening the port and stuff but it just WON'T work. I can browse the internet with normal speed so it must be the firewall! Or do you have any idea of where firewall come from? like the motherbord or something???

Thank you so much for your help
