justaphase Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 My new apartment has blocked the use of torrents on their wi-fi. When double-clicking the torrent link on a website it just opens my homepage. I thought i'd got around it by going to the internet shop and saving a load of files on my flash drive.. Hey presto!! Ok!!.. But then when utorrent tried to connect with peers it couldnt establish a connection. Any ideas..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2oDunc Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Instead of clicking on the torrent link, right click it and choose " open with " and select your torrent manager ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laawman Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 You could try a torrent client like Deluge with full encryption enabled, but somehow I think you may well be stuffed! The only other options I can think of are trying a file hosting forum like bolt.org, or perhaps signing up for a newsgroup account as most of these have SSL encryption.

prism Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I'd try using an VPN. I use StrongVPN and it works fine. You get added security too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I see. and only $7 a month. Would they be able to tell if i was using it..? They do much cheaper packages if you front up for a year ($55). They would likely see that you're using a VPN but exactly WHAT you're doing will be totally secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
