i installed bittorrent and i went to suprnova.org to try to download stuff and i click on something and it just says action cancelled. I think the problem is im behind a firewall at college. Does anyone know how to fix this or know how to edit the ports for bittorrent?

 

also,post what sites u get ur torrents from (such as suprnova.org)

hey nim thanks for the advice. i know changing the port would work, but there is nothin i can open to change the port. how do u "tunnel the default port"? thanks for your help!

well, depends on what ports the router blocks.

 

if it lets 1080 through, this would be perfect. u could use "socks-chain" (or similar), get a list of public socks and tunnel the bittorrent default port.

 

if it also blocks socks proxys, ur bit boned. u could use "http-tunnel". its a freeware tool with a register option. unless u register ur bandwidth is limited for their servers to something like 2 kb/s. not enough for filesharing =) (i used that from school to reach ircds). getting a real serial is hard to find though :/ (i guess u dont want to pay ^^).

 

if u have good bandwidth at home and a flatrate, u can set up a http-tunnel server urself, and connect from school. this would be like the second examples, thus u use ur own server at home instead of the ones from the http-tunnel company.

 

hope this helps.

 

later
