ok ..
here's the tutorial to ->
Get Bittorrent Working behind a Firewall
-----------------------------------------------
( im not talking abt your computer's firewall , its about your college or institute's firewall for your internet connection .. so that you only have port 80 open )
you need
1. A Bittorrent Client called BitConjurer -> *bittorrent.com/download.html
Dont try any other client .. cos im not very sure it works for others or not
Download and install the client .. It wont create any shortcuts or anything .. It will simply copy required files in 'C:\Program Files\BitTorrent\' directory
2. SocksCap -> *www.socks.permeo.com/Download/SocksCapDownload/index.asp
This software converts all GET requests from an application to access internet into Socks-requests ..
Download and install it .. i will tell you how to configure it ..
3. HTTP - Tunnel -> *www.http-tunnel.com/html/solutions/http_tunnel/client.asp
This software converts all socks requests going from your computer into HTTP- requests ..
Install the software and configure it to use a specified proxy if you have one or put it in 'no proxy, only firewall' mode .. whichever is applicable to you
Now, run HTTP-Tunnel
4. Download the .torrent file from internet .. ( i hope you know sites from where this can be done )
Say the file name is "my movie.torrent". Put this file in a directory where you want to download the movie. Say "E:\movies\" ... so the total path of file is "E:\movies\mymovie.torrent"
5. Now, open SocksCap .. press 'New'
Now Give ...
Profile Name = anything you like
Command Line = "C:\Program Files\BitTorrent\btdownloadgui.exe" "E:\movies\mymovie.torrent"
Working directory = "E:\movies\"
Look the command line closely ... its -> "path to btdownloadgui.exe file" *space* "path of .torrent file"
and the working directory is the directory where .torrent file is stored
6. Now simply 'Run' the entry you've just made ...
It will open a small window where you can see the status of your download file ...
I hope this whole this is clear to you .
If there are any doubts just post it here
PS: Obvious Question:: Why doing all this $hit ?
Answer:: cos, all bittorrent clients use ports other than port 80 to connect and download .. when institutes install firewall .. only port80 is kept open.
So you somehow need to redirect your application's requests in other ports towards port 80 ... and i only know this method to do the same..
If somebody else has a better method .. please post it here
