    Can you ssh out? If you can ssh to (say) your own PC at home, you could set up your own squid proxy and forward traffic along the ssh pipe - nobody will be able to read any of the data 'cos it's all going to be encrypted.

    kinda sounds a bit illegal, most colleges and libraries etc have a clause to agree to use only for acedemic use. cant see how bittorent is needed for acedemic use.. if it is then im sure your sys ad would open up the ports for you.
    You know, aliens are going to come to earth in 50 years and kill the hell out of us for DDoSing their networks with this SETI crap
