Hello everone. I'm studying out of town and stay in a hostel, so I have to access the net through a proxy server. It seems that torrents cannot de downloaded through a proxy server. I've tried a couple of methods to bypass the proxy for downloading torrents, but they were mostly unsuccessful.
Could anyone suggest me a good way to download torrents through the proxy server??

AS far as I know it is not really possible to download torrents through a proxy server. This action hogs the server's bandwidth. Imagine a situation where many users downloading torrents through the same proxy server. This will cause the server to grind to a halt. This is the main reason why proxy servers do not allow torrent downloading through them.

I'm quite sure its possible to download torrents through a proxy server. You need to do some tunneling thing and bypass the proxy server. But I'm not very sure how.
