.torrent files

Alrighty, from what I understand, my ISP blocks the download of .torrent files (I'm on a college campus, and the IT department is full of bandwidth nazis.)  Basically, any time I click a link that should lead to a .torrent file, it won't go through.  I would like a way around this.  Any ideas?

block extensions but not the actual protocol? fantastic

proxy/tor to browse & get the .torrent, regular business to use the .torrent..
