      If you don't enable the last rule you only alow the ports and protocols specified above which means only a few ports are open to go out (http, rdp, https, common-alias and protocol icmp).

        Ok I think i'm nearly there. Torrents are working, so is VNC, VPN in and out of the office, FTP and HTTPs.

        I have one last thing thats not, its not a big thing but I would like to resolve it. The failover for my Opt1 connection is not working. When I plug out my Opt1 connection I can still access the internet on my WAN connection, but when I plug out my WAN connection I lose all internet access… except for doing google searchs which is weird. When I unplug the WAN connection I can go to www.google.com and do a search and it will give me a list of results, i can't however open any of the result pages. I can't do a tracert on any sites either.

        I have a feeling this has something to do with my DNS. Is there anyway of setting the DNS for Opt1? Under "status>interfaces" the Opt1 connections reads as "up" but I don't see any DNS addresses associated with it?

            I've written up a new part to the dual WAN wiki http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi-Wan/Load-Balancing#Supporting_bittorrents
            which describes my set up for bitorrent which seems to be working well.

            Appreciate comments and feedback on this.. :)
