The torrent dl status icon never turns green ever since I entered this college with my laptop. Also, the P2P program shuts down from 12 to 4 pm. Is there any program to ignore the fire wall or any sorts of restriction from the connection provider?

Firewall. Try changeing the port range to something high. If your client doesn't let you, get bittornado.

thanks for the advise
but what's port range??

The range of network ports that the client opens sockets on. For example, TCP port 80 is used for HTTP (web browsers). Try changing the port range used by your BT client to something high, like 20000-20050. Bittorrent has default ports, and your university might be throttling the bandwidth on them.

or route it through 80 which is almost always open

And then have problems with HTTP.
Good game.

if the firewall rules are very tight what choice do you have

set it up to download torrents overnight, and either way http reqs should come through

P.S.: Stop using Azureus its a resource hog and BitComet is better.

Sage for truth. Nobody would want to run a Java app when you have a better native app available.

Oh really? I guess 2MB Memory on normal use is really considered a resource hog.
