How to download torrents when your P2P/torrents are blocked by web proxy

Dear ardent readers of my blog,
I have recently delved into migrating this blog and another one that I run at samloffee.webs.com to a self-hosted domain and host. You should check updates on that soon.
Lets now go to the duck of the day. Its pretty well fried I guess. you are probably lost in desperation when your school/college/university/workplace has the "torrents blocked". This is  not unusual. Most institutions do that to limit on bandwidth use per host and improve the network performance. This however does not justify the reason why users should be blocked from using this file sharing technology which proves to be next frontier after most file servers face the risk of shutdown due to infringement on copyrights on account of content found in their servers (Story for another day). You are probably asking yourself how to get that file you found out is only available through torrent downloads.
You should take note that most often the admin of the network will have probably blocked you from downloading the torrent file (that small torrent file usually below 200kb that initiates the torrent download of interest). you will thus not be able to have a torrent file unless you use an alternative unrestricted internet connection to download the file. In this case, you will have to depend on a magnetic link to be able to use the method am about to describe below. Go to your preferred website that hold torrent file collection. Find the file of interest within the website. Once spotted, choose tto download the same using magnetic link (This usually opens your torrent client say uTorrent/BitTorrent etc and feeds it with the URI- Its pretty happens very fast you might not probably notice it.). Ensure you have either the torrent file of interest or its URI in your torrent client application.This is how you proceed:
1. On your torrent client, right click the file of interest. Select the option of "Copy Magnetic URI".
2. open web browser. Open the ZBIGZ Website
3. Paste the Magnetic URI on the bar at the top. Then click "Go"
4. Proceed with the steps and Wait for the file to be prepared for direct download.
5. Click download/zip when ready
Enjoy the download experience
Robust speeds and resumable downloads can be attained from premium accounts. More info coming soon.
