The other day I downloaded every album they made in one compressed file through Azureus bittorrent - took 4 hours I think. I didn't have to buy 18 new pieces of plastic to listen to my music again. :icon14:
aye, i got all pink floyd neatly on one dvd, same for queen :icon14:

Also, what kind of content are you primarily after? Music, Video or other?
Primarily just music and video, and the firewall is most likely on my linksys router, I guess I could tweak that BUT that would involve me knowing how to do such things, which is currently not possible.
Something I don't understand about this:
Does a firewall also inspect the contents of a packed file?
I could see how it would reject an avi or mp3, but also a zip or rar?
And if so, isn't there a way to disguise avis and mp3s into work place-acceptable formats?
Most firewalls and proxies don't filter or block traffic based on filetypes - they filter based on the web address, keywords in the address, or the ports used.
edit: And pretty much all corporate firewalls will block bittorrent ports by default. So you would have to convince your network admin that you really need bittorrent ports open, and that's pretty hard to do.

But a bittorrent-client doesn't establish a connection to a specific host, right?
Yes, but it uses certain ports that have to be manually opened. No firewall - corporate or home - will allow traffic through bittorrent's ports by default.
