UPnP isn't enabled by default in Windows Server 2003.
Are you using the Firewall client?
The UPnP service can be stopped and disabled through the services manager (but agenta says it's not even enabled by default, so this should be a moot point).

Test by disabling the Firewall client on a machine and see if the BitTorrent client can still upload. Why do you need to use the Firewall client? Do you have an application that requires it?

I was lead to belive that the firewall client protected the pcs and it also made it so no logins to the net are required

No, the Firewall client is only used to support applications and protocols that do not support proxies. For example you could use the Firewall client to allow a group of users to use Remote Desktop (RDP) outbound.
Unless you specifically require it, I don't see a need for it.
