bittorrent at college

[JonnyJonJon]

here i am, in my college dormroom at UB, trying to get bittorrent to download me a file. i can find peers and seeds just fine, but it won't download at all. it says downloading (at 0 kbps). the client i am using is azureus, so that i can pick the tcp port to use. i figured that might help me get around college anti-filesharing measures. however, no matter what tcp port i pick to test, all i ever get is NAT error.

if anybody has any tricky ideas to help me out, please let me know.

Ask the admins if they stop bittorrent.

They might have a proxy on the network, which will almost always block BT traffic.

The admins are most probably blocking it. There is nothing you can do outside of an external ISP.
