Maybe its because of the Service provider, not by College institution!

Colleges block ports which are needed by torrents.This is done to prevent misuse of the bandwidth.So,you cannot do anything on that front.
However,if u have a computer outside your college with full internet access,then you can setup your laptop/pc in college to download from torrents.

I thought he is using the College internet by staying in Hostel.

You can do one thing, try to scan the open ports and change the uTorrent port accordingly in the settings.

It's worth trying.

College would have blocked the complete port range used by uTorrent.

I am at NIT DURGAPUR. How to use a computer with internet connection present outside?

Bro, uTorrent usess all the ports upto 65535 !
Just need to check out port forwarding.

You can also try torrent to exe download.
Google it you'll find a downloader.

well if college internet speed is good which believe should then why do you need torrents. use links. .

and public trackers do not need port open right ?

^They need.

I am always downloading from private tracker and I have opened a port so don't have any experience over there but my friends have not & I am sure as they don't know what does it mean or how to.. and they are downloading from public tracker..so you don't need to I guess
