This is a good way to hide, actually. Port forwarding connections are easier to trace long-term. If you make the downloader port forward instead of the uploader, the one who's easily traced is the one who's in less trouble and the real targets stay hidden. But leechers are lazy and won't do that. Some Scene FTPs do this.
