<p>BT does not work on my university network, what can I do/what else can I do p2p file sharing with? My roomate doesn't know either and he is even more clueless than me!</p>
<p>does using port forwarding via SSH or f-secure work? I don't even know what that is but I heard about it. If it works, how do I do it?</p>
<p>the only way i know how to do it is by port forwarding, which i did at home with my router, i think you would have to call IT to get the ports forwarded and im not sure that they would do it. I just googled it and found this site that has a guide and shows which ports need to be forwarded <a href="http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/25.html%5B/url%5D">http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/25.html</a> if you want to try calling IT.</p>
<p>You can also use BitComet, which uses UPnP to get around NAT/Firewalls from routers. No port-forwarding is necessary!</p>
<p>Get DC++. Most colleges I've seen have a hub running.</p>
<p>second recommendation for DC++. Public hubs are very secure from RIAA snooping too, by comparison to other P2P networks.</p>
<p>It isn't always used for illegal downloading, a lot of sites use torrents for legitimate files.</p>
<p>Well I dont know much about DC++ yet so I would prefer to use Bittorrent for now</p>
<p>Honestly I will be using bittorrent mostly for music and current tv shows (we dont have a tv here!) Anything else like adult content, movies, etc I just buy or get from a friend.</p>
<p>I just got a SSH client from ssh.com (trial version) Anybody know how I can use it to get BitComet or Azuerus through?</p>
<p>Seriously my university has no right to block BT as it is a perfectly legitimate file sharing network (unlike many others) and is perfectly legal if done under the right circumstances .</p>
