Do you have any tips for which ports I should close to held my network clean for intruders ?
I've closed port 1214 and 6881 to 6889 . Anyone else I should close ?

As several people have mentioned already, start with deny all, and got from there.

Out of curiosity, what prompted you to close the BitTorrent ports for security reasons (6881-6889)?
