Transmission for Mac 1

I have transmisson, a bit torrent client used for downloading torrents. It works great but it wont download anything while I'm using the internet connection at school! They obviously have something set up to prevent that, so how do I mess with my firewall in order to get my transmission downloading at school? Can anyone help me out?

You might want to think twice about something like that. It may get you suspended.

Just so you realize, Transmission is a terrible program. I get WAY lower download speeds using Transmission than I do using uTorrent. It does not connect to nearly as many peers simultaneously. I highly recommend downloading uTorrent.

you need to use a vpn or make an ssh tunnel into another computer, and use that. If you do one of those, your school will be oblivious, as the data will be encrypted. They simply block torrent activity, but if you just tunnel into another computer or log into another VPN, then you are more or less on that network, and free to do as you please...just look up ssh or vpn services online, anonymous ones are pretty abundant and cheap.
peace
