They're obviously noticing spikes in network activity and have pin pointed it on you, you could try limiting your down speed in uTorrent so that it almost looks like normal network traffic.
*VPN = Virtual private network.
The network is unsecured.

Just connect to another network- if there is a residential area anywhere near where you frequent, there will be oodles of wifi out there and some of them have to be WEP which is easy to crack. I live in a cul-de-sac and I see 9 networks and oddly today(silly me the adapter I was using to view them just then is too old to recognize wpa) all of them are WEP- I've cracked 2 of them.
Anyways, point is- aim for the path of least resistance. The admins can see every packet if they want to- no sense in trying to defy them if they've caught you twice already.
The problem with that is that my school is in a very rural area, and to get to another network I have to take a 10 minute shuttle ride into the nearest town, which is inconvenient.

Some vpns are free well others cost money so you well have to search around a bit but there are lots out there.
Thats my two cents but wait for some of the more advanced members to post and see what they say.
*edited thanks my bad
How would I go about setting up a VPN?
