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.

This is one of the reasons why it makes sense to combine P2P download with HTTP/FTP mirror downloads, which is exactly what aria2c is doing, in conjunction with MirrorBrain, our redirector and metalink generator.

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.
