Power BitTorrent port 6969 blocked... how to get around the blocked port

Due to the massive Upload speeds killing .... or overstressing our schools network...... my school has blocked port 6969 (the most common BitTorrent port). So I cant connect to the tracker anymore, in other words no more downloading from school Smilie
Does anyone know how I can get around the ports issue... someone told me I had to change the ports and proxy it off another machine or something close to that ... unfortunately i have no idea what that is so I would really appretiate some help Smilie
PS: Unsing FreeBSD (Rel. 4.9)
