flynn724 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Anyone got any ideas about whether I can use BitComet at uni. I have been using it for ages and I jsut got my internet at uni to work and I no one here can figure out if we need to mess with the settings to use BitComet, or if it is the Uni that is stopping us from using it.

The UnUsual Suspect Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Many schools do indeed block bit torrent traffic. If you can think of a legitimate reason to need it, perhaps they will assign you a listening port to use (depending on their policy), or you could try getting the system admin a case of beer... lol You may also try disabling listening port, although this will be slow, if it works at all. There are other possible methods, and I will work on making a post on this since we seem to be getting alot of questions related to this.

flynn724 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks a lot. Is there anythng off the top of your head that might help - apart from the listening port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 WoW uses bittorrent to update. Linux and other open source software are distributed via bittorrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
