Answer 1

Port forwarding does not happen on the modem.

Port forwarding happens on the router.

Here is what happens:

1. You assign a specific LAN PC (or other lan device) a static LAN IP address consistant with the LAN subnet. You also make sure that IP is no longer able to be assigned out by the router under DHCP. Let's say your LAN subnet is 192.168.1.0/24; router & default gateway is 192.168.1.1, subnet 255.255.255.0; DHCP range is 192.168.1.150 - 192.168.1.255; and 192.168.1.2 is reserved for the specific LAN PC.
2. You reserve a router port (let's say port # xyz) for IP 192.168.1.2 in the router; it is defined as a TCP or UDP per the Utorrent directions you have. I suspect Utorrent also has a port # it wants you to use.

Now for specifics (using the assumptions I have above). Use a wired connection not wireless to configure the router.

1. Go to the router's LAN configurations. (Internet explorer - type in the default gateway 192.168.1.1 in address, log onto router) Change LAN DHCP to the range specified above. Reboot all LAN PCS.
2. Go to the pc you wish to use for Utorrent. Change its LAN IP to a static IP, 192.168.1.2, subnet 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1, DNS 192.168.1.1 (this is done in My network connections, right click on the LAN connection, select properties, highlight Internet Connections (TCP/IP), click on properties button; save and exit back to desk top.
3. Go back into the router configuration. Look for port forwarding section (probably in WAN config area or a subset of WAN config or in Security. It depends on the router and you did not disclose that info. Follow the port forward prompts, where you enter the port #, xyz, select UDP or TCP, and enter the ip address of the pc, 192.168.1.2. and you are done.

Now if your modem is a router / modem combination, it may not support port forwarding. Check with your ISP. If that is the case, you will need a router and need to change some configurations. It can be done but that is way too much to try to cover here.
