Bittorrent through a restrictive proxy? - HTTP Tunnel etc

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a program that'll allow me to get force traffic through port 80 (the only port which isn't blocked on my school connection), so I can connect to bittorrent, Counterstrike etc.

I've been using a program called 'HTTP Tunnel', and I was wondering if you guys knew of any alternatives? Or basically any program that'll allow me access through the school's firewall/proxy so I can download Mr. Green

Thanks,

Matt

You could probably tunnel through using SSH.

However, they've probably blocked port 22.

So... you need a server on the outside with SSH listening on port 443. Then you ought to be able to get out.
