...and getting a new ISP is not a feasible option, unless someone wants to send me an extra 30 USD every month. For watching Genesis, NES, SNES, GB, GBC, and GBA movies, I simply use the ROM and the approriate movie file. But sometimes this is not enough... I can't watch nitsuja's cam-hacked Sonic Advance run, for example, or any N64 movie, because Mupen64 runs too slow on my laptop. And now that DOSBox TASing is a reality (and I expect that support for games will only improve), there will now be lots of movies that I simply have no access to without being able to use BitTorrent. I know that asking each N64 or DOSBox submitter to encode an .avi and upload it to YouTube or Google Video is asking a lot. Does anybody have any other suggestions about this? Are there, for example, any BitTorrent clients that can "disguise" the BitTorrent transfers as HTTP traffic or something similar? Edit: this problem has been resolved.

use a proxy, and/or fix the port that your bt client will use to a non filtered port. I know it can be done, but I could not explain you how, since it's very complicated, and it highly depends on your computer and the way your isp connects you to the net, your software... hopefully, one of the numerous geeks of those forums will post a detailed answer shortly.

unless your ISP explicitly stated the filtering in the contract: sue those idiots. Or start with a very clear letter asking why they are deliberately violating the contract.
