1. Introduction Thanks to YiQi, we confirmed that tmnet is blocking bittorrent based on user-agents. So if you change the user agent, you will be able to connect to trackers. We can achieve this by using a proxy server which allows use to change the HTTP header. Sounds complex? Well it isn't really. I went around looking for proxy servers for windows which can do this for free (no need for cracks and shit). I came across PAW, I've tested it and it works  THIS WILL NOT SOLVE THE THROTTLING PROBLEM. It only allows you to connect to the tracker, a slow download is better than no download  2. Installation & Setup 2.1 PAW Perform the following steps
2.2 Proxomitron Alternatively, you can use another software called proxomitron. To set it up, follow the instructions here. Thanks to newbieockids for the alternative method. 3. Configuration 3.1 Proxy Server If you want to change the port number, go to "conf/server.xml". You can change the username and password there too (recommended). For those of you who downloaded paw from sourceforge, you will need to edit a file before it will work. run "startGUI.bat". This will load the admin GUI. Then edit according to the following screenshot: 
If editing through the GUI doesn't work for you, go to "conf/headers-request". The file doesn't have an extension, open it with notepad or any text editor. And edit according to the screenshot above. Here's a list of possible user-agents to use: http://en./wiki/User_agent_string#Browsers 3.2 Bittorrent Client So now to configure your bittorrent client. server: localhost port: 8080 (default) I'll show you a screenshot of utorrent's configuration. 
4. Conclusion And now you should be able to connect to trackers Remember, this DOES NOT improve your download speed, it just enables you to connect to trackers. 5. Problems & Solutions
