Depending on the client being used the download may be faster and it may affect the ability of others to connect to you and get the torrent data you are seeding. And just for completeness if you have multiple machines going through a router and the router has a port triggering feature you should be able to list the port range with 6881 as the trigger so the ports are not left open all the time and the relevant data is forwarded to the machine that triggered the opening of the ports.
