    How does it block it in your case? I know ages ago when I lived on campus (and Bittorrent was still new), it was still monitored but not completely blocked. I was getting 5-10 Kbps (and I was prepared to wait a week or two).

    Is the torrent file itself being blocked, or the software (aka uTorrent, Vuze).

    It blocks it as in I can't download the actual .torrent file. This is what happens whe I try on demonoid, what.cd, pretome, etc.: I click the download button and Firefox will be incredibly slow, sometimes it will download the file, most of the time it will just time out, and when it does download, it will never finish downloading the .torrent.
