Re: p2p on college network
Most likely what your college is doing is either A) packetshaping or B)Blocking ports.
If they're just blocking ports then all you have to do is switch the port that your software runs on. I think all p2p apps have this ability in their settings somewhere.
If they are packetshaping (more likely) then you have some problems. One solution is to set up a proxy server to your house as u mentioned or use a pay service like http tunnel. Another solution that just came availible recently is encryption of the traffic. This way the packetshaper can't tell what it is. Only two p2p progs that I know of do this now and they are both BT. Azureus and utorrent. Look in their options for using the encryption.
