Hello,I just downloaded Bearshare.And it seems like my university blocked it.
Is there any way how to unblock it? If yes,please tell me. And if no,then I don't know what to say then.

What modem and firewall do you have, and which version of BearShare?

I use a laptop. What did u mean with farewall, like antivirus?.I use AVG.And for Bearshare I use version 5.2.6 PRO.

If you don't know what firewall you have, then the one that comes with Windows is probably what you are using.
Your modem is what the laptop is connected to if you aren't connected directly to the university network.

More info is needed if you want help:
Describe how your laptop is connected to the internet.
Why exactly do you say it is being blocked? What are the signs?

My laptop is connected through the ''wireless route''.

What I mean, is that the uneversity is blocking the port. So that mean the ''BearShare'' won't connect to the ''Internet''. So I can't open : Steam, LimeWire, every singel online games that you have to download, Kazaa, I can't connect to the ''webcam'' etc.

Any solution?

Not for BearShare and LimeWire. You could try µTorrent or Azureus with protocol encryption in
forced mode and use the Pirate Bay with it.

Neither µTorrent or Azureus won't work. ''If BearShare'' don't work.Then I am definitely sure that µTorrent and Azureus will not work.


Edit: Seems like it didn't work as i thought. Do you think it has something to do with my proxy?

They are using the bittorrent protocol, not gnutella, and if you put the encryption in forced
(always on) mode, it just may work. It has to be forced or it would be detected and blocked.
Merely enabling it would still allow unencrypted connections.


Can you do without the proxy? If you can't connect to anything without a proxy then you are
better off renting a place outside the campus and getting your own internet account.

Another good source of files are the binary newsgroups. See if the university has a good one,
or try to connect to one outside the university.

you probably need to gat you own personal internet connection. Most edu are reluctant to allow any possibilty of enfringment. could cause lawsuit. NOT GOOD
