Smile I'm behind a firewall

Hi, i use LimeWire to download mp3's at home, but i can't get it to work at the university. I have done some research about the network and i have found out that it uses firewall and an advanced cencorship, so we cannot use anything else but internet explorer. I have tried all sorts of software to bypass the firewall
and i have managed to connect LimeWire using Tor, i can even search for files but when i try to download the file it tries to connect but it fails after few minutes. The way i understand it, "tor" creates outgoing connection so maybe the problem is with the incoming ports (i think ::))))). If anyone has been in the same situation please advise, the internet connection at the university is great, so i can use the bandwidth. Any tip will be helpfull. Thanks.
