HELP! with uni connection

[PwnDirect]

Am having two major problems & need help getting some work arounds.

1st problem Is my uni recently blocked torrents & has you can imagine this very awkward is there any torrent programs that wouldn’t be blocked maybe due to ports etc not sure about this sort of stuff

2nd problem since megavideo added the 2 hour limit, I cant watch anything due to the entire uni having the same IP. So does anyone know of any proxy pluggins I could use to get around this. Or would I need run Firefox through a proxy such as http tunnel etc.

Any help or pointers would be great.

Is it September already? These sort of questions normally only get asked when the kids first arrive...

The usual answer is the one you don't want to hear - it's the Uni's LAN, they can do what they like and if you try and get round it you're potentially heading for big problems (and not just a wee slap on the wrist either).

RapidShare worked nicely for me for a year. But then I was lucky enough to be in halls where they couldn't care less what you were looking at

Yeah, it's not worth the risk with torrents really. There were some DC hubs that provided plenty of content easily when I was in halls. Torrents will be blocked if they are abused unfortunately. Some people did set up proxies, but potentially losing your access and fee (if you have one) for the connection is not really worth it imo.
