I cant download Torrent files when I’m in a public place, from my own laptop, when I DL-ed the Torrent file and started to run it in the UTorrent client, there wont be any seeder, so it’s simply doesnt start. Pls help me. Though if I start dling the torrent file from home, then i standby my pc, and after turn it on again in the public place i can continue dling the torrents. i think somehow they blocking the incoming seeders. how can i make it workin to be able to dl any torrent there whatever i want?

1. Install\Update to latest µTorrent build.. (1.8.* or 1.9*) ((µTorrent 2.0 optional))

2. Ensure ports are forwarded for bit torrent.. (non standard port recommended)

3. Options >> Preferences >> Advanced >> bt.transp_disposition set to 255

4. >> Bit Torrent > Protocol Encryption > Outgoing: Forced >> Check Allow Legacy Connections..

5. >> Connection >> Set µTorrent forwarded port..

6. >> General >> Associate µTorrent associations >> Install IPV6

7. Click OK..

8. Go to speed guide >> Set you speed profile appropriately..

9. Vista \ Windows 7 - Start > Run *(win-r)* = services.msc

10. Set IP Helper Service to Automatic and ensure it is started..

11. Restart µtorrent.. Ensure port is forwarded and enjoy..

-OPTIONAL SECURITY-

Highly recommended for security.

Hey guys, I was searching the web today and came up on a few corporate websites that I was able to get in quite easily. I’m awesome! So I went in and found a bunch of Google Wave invites for their employees just sitting there. I gave away 13 of these to all my friends already and there are a few left. I don’t want to get in trouble by listing the steps up here, if you want one, shoot me an email to stevencruisest@gmail.com. BTW, it’s not that easy to do this, I’ll have to talk you through it. But I can only do a few, so when you get one then you need to go on and help others in getting another. Spread the goods around.

Hi,
I am using college internet cafe. I can install µtorrent. I can browse torrent sites as well as I can download .torent files, that are also added to µtorrent. But download is not started. There is no activity from µtorrent. I am not able to understand the reason. Do i have to modify any setting in µtorrent or what to do ? My college has a wireless dedicated bandwidth connection. The computer are windows based but college server is linux based. Please help me.

I will leek the big weakness in ip bassed web filters. This works for internet explorer
you can use it foor uttorrent to just look for the program dir for uttorrent and open up uttorrent and click options the prefferances then connections the add a stocks 4 proxie127.0.0.1″ and in the port box 9050. unforanatly this method sometimes downloads torrents slow.

Installing The Programs
1a. Install vidalia-bundle-0.2.0.34-0.1.10.exe goto http://www.torproject.org/easy-download.html.en
1b. Install pfsetup.exe goto http://uniqueinternetservices.com/proxy-firewall-download.html
Configering The Proxies
2a. Now It gets Tricky. Double click on the Blue Bubble with the lock it should say “Proxy Firewall v1.0.4 (beta)
2b. Click on the “open proxies” tab.
2c. Click Add Proxie type in the ip box “127.0.0.1″ and in the port box 9050. and click “Add to List” and then ok.
2d. Now Click check Proxies it should be good if not it wont work.
Proxifing The Programs
3a. Click on the “Rules” Tab in the ProxyFirewall program.
3b. Click “add program”.
3c. Under application Click “Browse. . .”
3d. Click “look in:” and open C:\\Program files\Internet Explorer and click “IEXPLORE.exe” and click open
3e. Where it says select the rule to be applied to this application under it click “use proxy sever”
3f. click on “click here to select proxy server. . .”
3g. click on “open proxies” then “STOCKS Proxies” and click on the “127.0.0.1:9050″ and click ok.
Finalizing the steps
4a. click on the tor program running in the task tray it looks like a onion
4b. Make sure your connected to the tor network first this could take awile
4d. All Done enjoy
4e. Questions or complements Email me at justin_10119@hotmail.com

Great post by the way!
I’m still looking for the ultimate solution to torrents, something that automatically helps me fix port forwarding, tweaks for highest dL and uL’s for a great ratio, and everything else!

Thank you!!

OK..this post was really informative..but (just as a few realized) this would only help those users that have torrent sites blocked..

the real problem is how torrent applications like utorrent, bittorrent, azerus, etc. would be able to download the torrent files from these PCs running on proxy servers..

haven’t seen any post on that, so i myself am working on this case..and that is FAR MORE COMPLICATED than what is dicussed in this POST..

still we owe thanks to this post cause this is the FIRST PART of DOWNLOADING torrents from proxy servers..and that, my friend,should be the title of this post….XD

I was downloading via ssl proxy and thanks to SSH when security staff of university closes the vulnerability which I found.they did somehow I can not access almost all over the proxy sites.I guess when I accessed a website in which when explorer or mozilla finds in the index of which called ”proxy” or anything like that it blocks any site.and in utorrent client which finds seeds and peers but does not download/upload.Now my last trying is usenet but I have no hope.

is it related or not I don’t know but if I buy a VPS connection does it work ?or not anyway, I’m now seeking a new solution to this problem but I don’t know what to do ‘cuz when I find new solution they will overcome again and I will be disappointed one more time.

I too am having difficulty with a University firewall. Limewire and deluge work, and I can download torrents from piratebay or other places with no problem, but then no peers will show up and the estimated download time will read ‘infinity’ forever.

Any advice?

“when the wifi is protected agaisnt torent specifically..
possibly with a Proxy adress system… and this will make impossible find a door available for connections…
Do not telll me to add the proxy conditions to the Utorrent on settings… this is easy beacuse the library of course give this specs for every one to conect freely…
I did already and still not find a Port for conection……

So mates now u see the Fu…. problem right???”

Same problem, proxy address server thing. cant seem to get any torrent files to dl with any listed methods.
Can dl the torrent file itself, but p2p connection for torrent files must be disabled or something?
