    Hi

    at my college, we are not allowed to use torrents or any p2p programs for that matter. I have heard there is a way to tunnel the traffic through http to avoid getting caught but I have no idea how to set it up or if there is another way around without getting in touble with my school.

    if anyone can help me out with this i'd really appreciate it.

    thanks in advance

    Thread closed.

    Your college has those restrictions in place for a reason and NBR will not help you bypass them. I suggest that you contact your college's administration/IT and complain or buy and use your own internet service from a local ISP.

    Seeings how "getting caught" often translates to "expelled", don't toy with your university IT department.
