apologies if this question has been asked before -- the search results were overwhelming.

Installing a P2P client. Usual dilemma: P2P program wants to unblock ports, MS urges against it. MS's philosophy is that it is safer to open an exception for this program rather than open the port, arguing that if i open the port then the port remains open always, even if the P2P program is not running.

Please offer a strategy, and an explanation to support it.

Here is my strategy. It's not 100% complete, but everything that pertains to P2P is done.
