Blocked from college network for using uTorrent

[Mr. President]

How do you log onto the Wireless network? Is it a standard passphrase or do you authenticate with a RADIUS server and domain controller?
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.

Honestly, I wouldn't even mess with it. 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.

I would say use a *virtual private network (vpn) to download your torrents and you should be fine, changing mac would be no goods because your still downloading the torrent to your school computer directly.

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?

Ah if the others didn't mention it i am not sure if it would work, it seems like a good bet to me but i am the leasted experience member here.
you can give it a try here are some free ones they are slower and some advertise well you use them but there free Hotspot shield, ProXPN and theres more out there, they have instructions on site for use and install.
If your a rich bitch there are really good vpns out there for $10 a month super fast, and lots of locations and are encrypted. hide my ass pro, ghost vpn and more but they are really expensive

I would wait for another member to post and see what they say before you start downloading stuff to your computer though, it might not be this easy.
