Bottorrent Question

[Anubis]

is there any BT client that i can make run over port 80? because my college blocks the BT ports and i cant use it from here

I dunno, but that sucks they blocked the ports

I know that ABC lets you change the port range, it might work for port 80.

Circumventing network security policies is a good way to get in trouble.

bittorrent doesnt have anything to do with security. it has to do with me getting anime

and ABC works

Thank you very much


my school blocks everything. we cant use IRC because its a securiity risk, they let kazaa run but just limit the bandwidth

If your network admins specifically blocked bittorrent's default ports they probably had reasons, security or not.

And just so you know bittorrent traffic is easily distinguished from normal HTTP traffic, so if they are monitoring their network it won't take long to see what you're doing.

i know i know they dont block the ports because bittorrent uses them they block everything. and only open what they need to

Which is the proper way to setup a secure network. Since they're atleast semi-competent I would hope they also run a snort sensor, in that cause you'll probably have several hundred alerts in your name by morning if you download something via bittorrent tonight.

I have the same issue.

How did you get it work, by changing the port range 6881-6889 all to port 80?
