Why are they using Torrenting to download updates?

... You do realize, that just about every game update "downloader" nowdays uses torrent, right?
Though most of them do also connect directly to the main server too, For a normal non torrent download.

I have a solution to your issue. I used to work for the Disney College Program, which not only banned any torrents, but anything that was not directed through port 80 (General Web Browser Surfing). They had the toughest firewall I've ever seen, but you are still able to get around it if you use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). This is a legal solution, although it may violate your campus rules as it allows you to circumvent their port blocking.
To ensure you are able to use a VPN that redirects everything to a usable port, I recommended using any OpenVPN provider that is trustworthy. This is a great way to secure your network while you're at it. Unfortunately, most providers do cost a nominal fee as they are an ISP.
My favorite to use is ToughVPN, and they even help you set it up as well. There are plenty of other Service Providers such as 12vpn, WiTopia, and TunnelR.
Feel free to research the solution on your own and remember to be safe!
