School is back in session and those going back to their University know that it is a pain to use BitTorrents with risk of getting banned or fined from the University.  Those who use torrents at work might have the same problem.  Luckily we’ve created this list for you who need a way to access blocked torrents.

1. A seed box will help you access blocked torrents.  Try a $10 or $20/monthly plan from a TorrentFlux or µTorrent WebUI seedbox.

2. Try a VPN (virtual private network).  A vpn will hide your web traffic. All your traffic is actually happening on another network.  Some good VPNs include Torrent Privacy and BTGuard.

3. Unlocking your torrents.  Another issue is that .torrent files get blocked.  But, there is a work around for this as well. Try txtor -which will allow you to save a *.torrent file as a *.txt file to your hard drive - then rename it back to *.torrent.

As a last option the best option for accessing blocked torrents at places like a University is simply by going somewhere else to download. Bigbys coffee is a great place for downloading torrents as well as any unsecured WIFI connection.  But even there you have to be careful, as they maybe monitoring your actions.
