</thread>?

It would be if we were actually telling him how to breach the firewall. He asked, we din't help so theres nothing wrong or illegal going on... yet.

609123 2007-11-07 09:40:00 for all the effort required, why bother??

my brother used to be a trainer for yellow pages travelling all over the north island. he'd laugh if i showed him the nature of this thread. bypass the firewall to let the torrent tracker and hellooo a serious virus could piggyback along for the ride.

609124 2007-11-07 17:15:00 Is it prohibiting the download of the actual .torrent file? or just the traffic generated by uTorrent or whatever client you are using?

If it's not letting you download the actual .torrent file, you can try saving it as a .txt file instead, and then rename it, or if the tracker has it, download it from https.

609125 2007-11-07 18:58:00 It is actually for ligitimate use - I want to be able to download files from my home computer via torrents instead of e-mailed them to me, so I can work at home.

It appears its the traffic thats not connecting - not the .torrent being blocked

609126 2007-11-07 19:14:00 It doesnt matter if its for legitimate use. Or not

If the firewall is blocking it, you cant do much about it.

Accept that you cant do it from work.
