Most torrent clients I know support UPnP and/or NAT-PMP to request port forwarding from routers. As you say, it just isn't going to work for many people without this.

I run a BitTorrent service for an academic institution, to disseminate research data. We have a regular routable IP address, but still need to navigate the institutional firewall.
