I access internet in my college by WiFi but the problem is that download through torrent is blocked..

I have tried some stuff but couldn't get maximum speed.

Proxy is a way to unblock this.
Try this and then inform.

^^ You're wrong..... He isn't able to download using uTorrent etc...

I use port 58750 for download torrents. I guess your college's firewall has blocked most of the ports and only a handful are allowed.

You can configure your uTorrent or any other torrent client to download from Port 80 which is the port for HTTP but it will work :D.......
If on uTorrent, Go to Preferences--Connection and then type 80 in the Port for using incoming connections and click OK......

The logic behind this is.....80 is for HTTP/browsing and you can browse, so why not open it for Torrents........

Then try downloading......This may work........:)
