Not who you replied to, but I can guess what they are trying to say:
If you only download new torrents, there is a high chance someone have opened their port, thus allow you to download without open a port.
If you want older / not popular torrent, it’s different story.
If the firewall just means no incoming connections, your computer can still reach out to the other side (if they open their port)
