come on people I went to a small university of less than 5000 on campus people, and i ran a members only DC++ based network there. this is nothing new. anyway from what I can tell the ptokax based system we were using along with a few custom scripts were vastly superior to dtella. 4 years ago we had a total share of over 30 Tb, over 60% of the students were members (and some staff), and we had an average upload / download speed of 40 mb/s, and we also used an RSA based encryption system for security.

dtella at this very moment has… 743 users, and 60.18TB. and that’s just logged in at the time, there are more users that don’t just sit on and veg all day, not to mention some of the users are on the IRC chat only and not sharing anything. so whose e-penis is bigger?

“Notoriously known for their aggressive pro-piracy stance and prolific file sharing”

Notoriously? I’d rather say ‘gloriously’.

That’s the way to go, Purdue!

(A message to students, complaining about the article):

Dear friends. I know it’s hard. There’s always a great temptation to stay underground until it’s completely safe. But times have changed and we need to gather all of the community and deliver the final blow.

Don’t look for a way which only seems easy. Don’t hide like if you’re criminals who you aren’t. Don’t make any compromises with your conscience.

You must not fear mafiAA, you must fight openly like others do now. You must force fat pigs to respect your inalienable right for informational freedom. Again I repeat: it’s hard. But it’s what has to be done. Better world never comes cheap.

That’s right, FIGHT THE POWER!!!

Purdue students are also the inventors of bubble gum flavored hydro weed. ;)

[quote comment="348866"]I love how randomly all the comments turn to hatred.

I am still very appreciative of your article.

And I doubt the RIAA checks Torrentfreak often…[/quote]

hatred isn’t the focus here. we would prefer not to get a lot of publicity outside of campus and the main problem is that the info in the article is grossly inaccurate. Though that in itself may lend it to not being looked at seriously too.

It’s nice to share on a school network. Since it’s a LAN, it’s out of range for Mediasentry and others like it.
If the IrAA cronies do access the p2p network of a school’s PRIVATE network they can be charged with computer crimes themselves for unauthorized access.

Sadly we don’t need to fuck ourselves, with the network now mentioned on places like Digg, Google News, and in popular blogs, the RIAA probably now is aware of it and its form and is going to begin pressuring Purdue to shut it down, so we have other things to worry about on one of your “slow news days”.

even if the students did set it up, i’m sure some of the staff knew what was going on anyway, probably some IT guy somewhere, or a teacher that overheard someone. the RIAA in general is gay, and shouldn’t even think to arrest anyone unless their selling it

That’s nothing compared to what we have at the university of xXxXx
We have xXxXx all around campus that we can access with any xXxXx at any time from any place on the planet.
The hardware is all free, we got it all with a grant from xXxXx and they don’t even know!
We are linked to every xXxXx and get live feed from xXxXx and all other xXxXx as well. We even share this all with other xXxXx
So far we have well over xXxXx of media with no end in site. And we will never get caught because we keep it a secret.
