I was downloading something and noticed a little green icon in uTorrent, I clicked it, and this is the message I received:

Error! Port 48880 does not appear to be open.
Please see www.portforward.com for more information about how to map a port.
Please make absolutely sure that PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com (72.20.34.145) in either of those programs. Those of you using ipfilter.dat should make sure the list does not include the website's IP. After making sure of this, re-run this test by refreshing the page (F5).
I'm a newb at this stuff, how do I open that port and will it give me better download speeds?
