Torrenting on a college network

My college recently caught me using uTorrent and blocked me from the campus-wide wireless network. After I was blocked, I changed my MAC address, which I thought would solve the problem, but it didn't. I went to the network admin yesterday and got her to unblock me, but if I get caught again I'll have to pay a $50 fine. My question is, how can I safely go about using torrents while at school without getting blocked again?
 
Short answer: is Don't. This isn't the place to be asking how to circumvent security policies on information systems / networks that are not under your authority.

If you feel so compelled to to use torrents (regardless if the content is legal or not), its probably best to not use the wireless campus network.

Terrible idea - don't do it.

Your lucky their only going to charge you $50, a lot of places would kick out of of college. Try explaining why you got expelled to whoever paid for your college.
