The problem here is the ISP. They all give you easily and quite cheap downstream speed.
I have 24 Mbs down.
But upstream is a bitch. I have 1 lousy meg upsteam. That's all they give you.
This is one of the issues of Bittorrent downloads - there are quite some ISPs blocking P2P traffic.
This here is not about them blocking it. They don't block it. It's just that they give you 1 meg up. Period.
True, this might not affect you - I just found it worth being mentioned in this context.

What port(s) does it need open to do everything it can?
aria2c uses the port range 6881-6999 by default, acc. to the man page: --listen-port=PORT... Set TCP port number for BitTorrent downloads. Multiple ports can be specified by using ",", for example: 6881,6885. You can also use "-" to specify a range: 6881-6999. "," and "-" can be used together: 6881-6889,6999. Default: 6881-6999 Note Make sure that the specified ports are open for incoming TCP traffic.
