AFAIK, if the UPNP forwarding is unsuccessful then shareaza automatically unchecks the setting

Well, if the connection test works you don't need UPnP. If you have a router that requires forwarding that probably means that you already have manually configured a forward for the Shareaza port. Which makes UPnP for that same port fail.

it sounds to me like the port is already forwarded, which would explain why UPNP fails.
