Router gives limited connections and slower downloads on Kazaa-lite!

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out why using a router (zot ia400) makes
Kazaa-lite have less successful download-connections and slows even the
few working downloads down. Of 20 selected vids normally 5-10 downloads
happen, but with the router only 1 or 2 download really start!?

I've disabled the routers build-in firewall and allow everything, see
lower... This doesn't make it better!

I've read that I should forward the ports Kazaa-Lite is using, but
Kazaa-Lite seems to open many random ports for every selected
download!?
Strange differences between the open ports between the router-monitor
and the netstat comment, see lower...

So how do I solve this?
