How can I use BitTorrent at university (with proxy)?

I'm at university, and I have to use a university internet connection in order to access the web. I really don't understand any of these computer terms or how to change the settings, so I need your help.



Basically, if I want to use the internet, I have to login every time I turn on my PC through ResNet (provided by an ethernet cable connection into the wall).



When I first logged in, to get it to work, I had to change the proxy settings in FireFox so they looked like this:

How I can do something similar to get BitTorrent to work? It won't work and won't start seeding. Here is the Proxy settings page:

If it helps, here are the guides to get Internet Explorer and Mac Safari to work (although they're essentially the same):

I should mention that the proxy codes are actually provided by the university, so it's legitimate.



Thank you!How can I use BitTorrent at university (with proxy)?Bittorrent downloads legitimate, what a laugh. Thanks, you made my day.How can I use BitTorrent at university (with proxy)?The university is blocking the torrent sites because they don't want to get sued by the movie industry for the illegal material you plan to steal.
