Getting around blocked ports, is this possible?

[Phokus]

Hey guys... i'm trying to use bittorrent, but it seems my school has blocked the ports for it to work, is there a way to get around this? thanks.

If you use their network, you play by their rules. Do not ask how to get around them, here.

FYI, questions like this are frowned upon in this forum.

Just to second what werk said, if the school admins blocked the ports, that means they don't want Bittorrent or other P2P software running on their network, so don't do it. Even if you could get around it, which nobody here is going to tell you how to do, all it would do is get you in trouble with the school.


edit: darn fingers don't go where I tell them to go.

E-mail the schools IT detailing exactly what you need and why may help some.

Bribe the admins with :beer:. Pick the right :beer: though, they are known to be picky.
