Peer-2-Peer(P2P)

Finally, P2P is enabled for my internet connection. Nope, its not because the sucky hostel internet connection allows it, it is just some effort, help and luck that I got to use it. Wahaha. Who says the network's firewall is impassable. Bullshit.

Just in case y'all duno what the heck is this P2P about...here's the discription from wikipedia.org:

"A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network is a network that relies primarily on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively low number of servers. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections. Such networks are useful for many purposes. Sharing content files (see file sharing) containing audio, video, data or anything in digital format is very common, and realtime data, such as telephony traffic, is also passed using P2P technology."

For more information, log on to the above website on P2p.

So back to the P2P here, my side. Alrite, alrite, for pros and experts, this is just a damn lame story how to get a P2P thru a firewall. But for amateurs such as myself, its quite an achievement.

















The LimeWire Program


Basically, the hostel network firewalled almost everything included P2P networks, online games and most of the download site, and they required you to pay 58 bucks for the subscription. Plus for guys, you had to reconnect, meaning login ur username, for every freaking hour. This is to ensure you people don't download things and crash the network. Bullshit again.

So, to get through the obstacles, that is the network firewall, all u have to do is to follow the steps below.

1. Go to any search engine and type "proxy public".
2. Go to the site where they offer u the proxys
3. Ensure the proxy port is "80". Copy the proxy.
4. If using Limewire, go to Tools>Options>Advanced>Proxy. Paste the code.
5. Pray hard that the proxy works. It might take a long time.
6. If too long, go to File>Disconnect and Connect again.
7. If still denied, find the another proxy and paste it. Follow the steps above.
8. Pray hard again.

I haven't try on BitTorrent. Should be able to got thru too. Just let me noe if u can.

As for the connection thingy, u guys can visit http://got.to/littleway

You can go on from there.

For those who want to talk about ethical stuff, you may kick ur own ass outta here. If you wanna put ur 58 bucks for maximum profit u may wanna consider the option. Enjoy!

Out.
