Grendel Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I am trying to setup a friend with uTorrent. He lives in dorms at UNC Chapel Hill, and they appear to have blocked Bit Torrent somehow. If I were to run a port scan from PC Pitstop and use one of the ports it shows for uTorrent, would it work? I cannot change any kind of port forward settings on anything, but I should be able to use one thats already open right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Doubtful. You'd probably have to scan inside the same network. I'm not too familiar with this stuff though, so I may very well be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ok scratch that. I cannot get the information I want. I am now trying to set it up to work via proxy. I do not know what my proxy settings are however, everywhere I can find says check in IE. There are no settings in IE, all the fields are blank. Is there another way to determine my proxy settings?

Ultima Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 You're probably behind a transparent proxy then, meaning no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 My external IP is different from both my computer IP and my gateway IP. I understood that to mean it wasn't a transparent proxy...is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Not necessarily... proxies can be run inside a router too. Transparent just means there's no client-side configuration, like Internet Explorer proxy configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Oh...I see. So bascially this computer doesn't even know its behind a proxy, and the only way to find out the settings would be to talk to an administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war59312 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 You could always run your own proxy on a linux machine using squid and then connect to it on win machine using Hamachi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Im trying to hack through my schools stuff, not an option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Frankly, "hacking" your way through isn't a good idea... and probably not feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I use the term 'hacking' loosely. I figure there has to be a way to use the present allowances to operate uTorrent. Like, the intarweb can get through...I tried using port 80 but it was of no use. I just don't know enough about their network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I realize that, hence the quotation marks ;PHow fast are normal HTTP downloads for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 At school, perhaps 125kB/s. Most of the files I download at school are pretty small, so I dont have a real good idea of the speeds. I ran the test at dslreports.com and got 982d/1024u on average so I expect it to be pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Well, even if you could proxy the communications, µT only supports tracker communications to be proxied, not actual data transfer.You'd have to socksify µT to pass all traffic through a proxy.

Grendel Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 That would be better than what Im getting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
