Unblock torrent downloads...

[deadzero]

Hi guys,

I access internet in my college by WiFi but the problem is that download through torrent is blocked..

I have tried some stuff but couldn't get maximum speed.


Can you tell me the best way to get around it ?

Proxy is a way to unblock this.
Try this and then inform.

^^ You're wrong..... He isn't able to download using uTorrent etc...

I use port 58750 for download torrents. I guess your college's firewall has blocked most of the ports and only a handful are allowed.

You can configure your uTorrent or any other torrent client to download from Port 80 which is the port for HTTP but it will work .......
If on uTorrent, Go to Preferences--Connection and then type 80 in the Port for using incoming connections and click OK......

The logic behind this is.....80 is for HTTP/browsing and you can browse, so why not open it for Torrents........

Then try downloading......This may work........
