so my girlfriend is going to school in west chester, and for the life of me, i can't get any p2p programs working for her. i've tried utorrent and azureus. i tried some limewire type program called frostwire. the only thing that seems to work is soulseek.
when i try to run a bittorrent client, i'm obviously having issues with port forwarding and i know i won't be able to get that working. college network admins lock that shit down. but here's the thing. i even have trouble just downloading a .torrent file. when i click a link on a torrent site to download the file and then start up a bt client, the file never downloads, it just starts up and then goes for a few seconds and stops, just hanging there. maybe the network admins have somehow blocked the download of certain file types? i'm confused.
i'm sure someone must know more about networking than me, especially someone awesome like conc. can anybody help me out? i'll live with getting a bt client to work in a sort of crippled fashion with slower speeds, as long as i can just get it working at all.
what do i do to get this show on the road?
p.s. forum admins, please don't close this. i know there are some lame rules regarding talking about this and that, but c'mon, sharing is caring.
