my employer blocks torrent, but allows ssh, so I ssh to a shell box
outside, and run a cTorrent client there, let it run to completion, then
scp or ftp the file from said server to work. its an extra step, but
not really that unreasonable.
if the shell box is someone else's and/or has network bandwidth
constraints, do be sure to tell ctorrent to throttle up and downlink to
something acceptable...
