ummm this is college not high school, internet in a dorm room isn't for educational purposes only, it's like having the manager coming to our room saying that drinking is not allowedthe_tazinator said:Being a network admin of a large University, students asking questions like this really tick me off. First of all, the college/university's network has a primary purpose of educational and research use only, anything beyond that is a perk. Give me three reasons as to how using such p2p programs help you in your college education.
Well, if you're under-age, that actually isn't allowed.FishBoy said:it's like having the manager coming to our room saying that drinking is not allowed

Yeah but anything beyond normal website traffic steals from everyone else on a college campus really. It is also probably against your online terms of use if you look. Also if your connection is slow it's probably because you have hundreds (if not thousands - depending on your schools size) doing the same thing you are. Even muliple-T3's that would normally be quick as lightning can be eaten up rather quickly by a good number of P2P users. In the end trying to circumvent your schools firewall is a bad idea as if they actually monitor it and notice your usage when all the bw is gone they could just block your MAC and no online at all for you or severly throttled.FishBoy said:ummm this is college not high school, internet in a dorm room isn't for educational purposes only, it's like having the manager coming to our room saying that drinking is not allowed

no im at seneca, good computer programs, i can get rogers here but it'll cost money and stuffElroy Jetson said:if you are at UofT, then you are out of luck. we used to share like hell when i was there in the late 1990s, but uni admit got hold of us, blocked our ip, and we were told to let it be. so back to the cd store for us, now. ah, it was a good time back then. just move out of college into a share house acroos on college str. or so, and then you can get rogers (or whatever it is called now) broadband - no more problems!
good luck, ej!
