Is there a bittorrent client that doesn't need port forwarding to always get full speeds and the green light?

I believe there was an udp bittorrent client, but I can't find it at the moment.
I'll have a further look around.

No, there isn't -- it's due to how routers work.

Why are you against port-forwarding?

Port forwarding just allows your Bt client to get thru your firewall or router

No, and there never will be. Why ? Because the OTHER clients who are also behind fw/routers don't know how to 'talk' with you (or rather your bt client). Hence you can only connect to clients who are NOT behind said things.
