So what's being said here is that if you have only the necessary ports open with a firewall to run a file-sharing P2P application properly that you will get 'hacked?' I guess that if there are vulnerabilities in the particular P2P client that's being used or a user doesn't set up the files to be shared properly (i.e. sharing the entire drive rather than only a single folder, file, etc.) or sets the client to automatically execute any files downloaded then yes, I can see a problem. I'd be curious as to what really was the cause of the problem the OP has.
