I'm using azureus and am starting to get pissed off because my school is blocking stuff with firewall and is extremely slow.
also, is it possible to convert the ongoingazureus torrent project to bitcomet one??

why not just change the ports it uses. chances are the school is only blocking ports. changing to bitcomet wont' help seing as how it has nothing to do with the program itself

Yes, it's just so easy to take over an entire network and kill processes running as root on the routing servers.
>>12
oh
so are they in a different category? So it's no use to learn hacking when I want to break into the server and mod the shared bandwidth rate to my pc????
>>15
Technically, you could. But you'd be an ass. Better be useful and tell your school how to prevent others from being asses. C'mon, if you want to share files, which is good, you can get some cheap broadband service yourself.

just spend like four dollars a month for access to a good usenet server and forget you even have an upstream bandwidth limit. Plus you get most shit sooner than you'd find it on bittorrent anyway.
You basically just can't use bittorrent when your upstream is clamped. Get used to it because you're not gonna change it.
You COULD try getting a second network card and setting up two connections if you want to be an asshole, doubling your upstream. But it's less of a pain in the ass to just go for some Usenet.
HTTP tunnel. Your school blocks the announces of your bittorrent traffic. Your school is shaping network traffic. Hacking wont change this fact, because they are probably using Cisco routing or a unix-style network. If this is so, then you are going to be hard-pressed to get Bittorrent to work.
Usenet only useful to you if you can actually get on to the server. If your school blocks bittorrent, then they probably block other forms of filesharing as well, which means it's going to be damn near impossible to share those files of yours. Try IRC, perhapse? IRC is a good way to share files, if they don't block that too.
In the end, if you can't do anything, you'd be best to get on the good side of the network administrator(s).

it's not that it's blocked.It's just that it's slow. like 30 kb per sec.
Plus, MIRC seems quite hard to understand compared to other p2ps

Oh my god! No! NOT 30KBPS! ANYTHING BUT 30KBPS!!!1!

Is that KiloBytes? If so, request proper capitalization. Bytes is always an uppercase B, and Kilo is nicer with an uppercase K.
30 KB is ok.

Stupid greedy faggot wants the entire dorm network to himself. Fine, go pay for it!
And then people wonder why universities run packet shapers. It's because they'd be sucked dry by internet packrats getting high on useless shit like mp3s, videos, and warez (most which they'll never even use!). 95% of the bandwidth would be soaked up by 1% of the users, leaving everyone else to wonder why they can't read their email, play an occasional game, or (zOMG!) do research for a fucking report!
>>27
well the thing is I'm trying to pull the original bandwidth of the school not the dorm's. Because this school is limiting the bandwidth on my dorm.

And why do you think that is, hmm?
If I was a uni sysadmin, it'd definitely be worth my dime to get some shapers from Packeteer, or maybe have couple of the guys spend a few days or weeks developing and testing routers using layer-7 QoS. Slap it in front of the dorms and my life suddenly becomes so much easier.
Instead of having 99% of people bitch at me about a slow network, I'd only have the 1% of packrat warez kiddiez whining... if they have the balls to whine to my face about not having bandwidth to do illegal shit their TOS says they shouldn't.
Oh, boy, would I ever love that. BoFH here I come!

the normal network itself is slow too and almost 70% ofpopulation here is a packrat. How's that??

Apparently whitespace is also considered a waste of bandwidth.
Oh, I hated jerks like you when I was in the dorms. At the beginning of the school year I had used BT to dl something animejunkies. Left it on over night by accident, ended up uploading over 4GBs. BT didn't work much soon after that. lol.
>>32
If the network is too slow, yet 70% (bullshit) of everyone is a packrat... you haven't noticed a probable relationship here? Hello? Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?
All the more reason to packet shape.
>>36
I'm so sorry bandwidth isn't free. When you start paying market price instead of flat fee for your leeching, then maybe I'd talk. Maybe you'd like to pay insurance too for when the RIAA/MPAA decide the uni makes a nice example?
>>38
WTF man, without flat fee the Internet wouldn't be nearly as good, populated and resourceful as it is. I cringe from the idea of not having flat fee, and I'm not at all a major leecher.
