Default Connecting Difficulties

I recently downloaded LimeWire while at school, and they have a firewall blocking Gnutella ports. I have already spoken to the university's internet specialist, and he informed me that there would be no way to connect through the Gnutella port without opening to various other illegal shareware programs. I was wondering if there were any other ports which LimeWire can use in replace of Gnutella, and if not, why not? So many college kids are looking for good software that will allow them to download music, and I'm sure many universities, such as my own, are blocking the Gnutella port due to legal issues. Why not offer an alternate port?
