my school does that too,blocks "hacker" sites and blocks chatting.but PM_MAHATHIR if your lan only has one firewall (like this library heh) you can probably if they only block the programs not the port, just use an anonymizer,or you can download the program somewhere else and then bring it to your work or whatever.but if that is the case, and you have semi intellegent admins who log traffic from different ports, theyre probably going to bust you pretty quickly, so unless its worth that much to u and worth taking the risk....dont do it. by the way albn i like your sig!
