From:

Best Practices for Skype Users
...
5.
A common recommendation is to only start Skype for pre-arranged calls
and to shut it down when it is not being used.
...
We have seen super-node problems when Skype is left running on
unattended systems who have not blocked access to ports 80/tcp and
443/tcp. Shutting Skype down helps to prevent your system from being
promoted to a super-node and consuming resources on behalf of others.

I have port 443 closed, and port 80 open and in use by a webserver.

Does skype still leach your bandwidth if you're not NATted?

Hehehe.
Well, that's a debate a few people have had. (There are various Haskell
libraries for building HTML programatically - not to mention doing CGI,
or even a full web server which is rumoured to out-perform Apache...)
