If you aren't + accessible by others, you will not only not share anything, but your + performance during downloading will be affected. + + Apt-P2P uses a default port of 9977, over both TCP and UDP, for it's + communication. You can change this port in the + /etc/apt-p2p/apt-p2p.conf file, and use different ports for TCP and + UDP, if desired. Whatever port you use, make sure to forward it + through your NAT or firewall to improve your performance and share + with others.
