Hi All,

I have a proxy internet connection and i am not able to download any torrent with any kind of torrent client. I have also configured torrent clients to use my proxy but it never works for me. My proxy ip is 10.178.3.1 and the port is 8080. Is there any way to connect to torrents for downloading? If you have any solution with my current internet settings, please let me know.

That proxy uses an internal IP address, so its still behind the firewall.
All IPs in the ranges:

10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

are called internal or private IP addresses, which means that its still inside your school networks, and thus behind the school's firewall.
A proxy reroutes your traffic through a tunnel so that the firewall cannot see your traffic. Almost any proxy will work through most firewalls, but the best kind is a SOCKS version 5 proxy. You can use PuTTY to tunnel traffic through a SSH login to make a SOCKS 5 tunnel.
See my post on [topic="19330"]Putty[/topic]

you probably won't be able to do this anyway... for torrents, you need things like open ports to have acces to a broader range of seeds/peers, which is complicated with a proxy.

It is because you haven't configured the proxy to forward incoming traffic to
an ip address and a port on your local computer.

Setting it just like a hardware broadband router used to connect internet
if your proxy app support that.
