hi
my network admin has blocked us from using torrents in school does anyone have any idea how its done?
as in the torrents wont just connect, even limewire. i used to think it was the ports but torrent clients randomize the ports at startup right? can i use proxies to bypass the whole block? kinda like awon gpass, gtunnel thingies? any help is welcome(well not just any sha, i'd appreciate it if ppl that dont get stay away, tenks )

The network admins at my school have done the same thing. It doesn't stop me from torrenting 10s of GBs per month though. You don't wanna use any type of proxy, because those are slow. The trick is to use a client that has BitTorrent protocol encryption. It makes it much harder for the admin's software to detect and throttle your traffic. My suggestion is to use Deluge. http://deluge-torrent.org/

As for Limewire, I can't help you. I grew out of using that years ago when I figured out how to use torrents.

thanks a million men. . . i'll try it and post results

Na wa oh loks like dis d in- thing now,,,,,,,,,,,, most guys on starcomms using torrents hv also bin complaining
