haha..these ppl are funny. i’m a uconn student and DC++ already has everything you need. i dont know anyone who uses anything else, besides the people who get the first seed. plus uconn’s resnet people dont seem that bright anyways …just hope you never have to deal with them for help cuz they are more lost then the average student will ever be

This is the same as at my school. Occasionally, they have opened it up, and mpaa and riaa letters start coming in. I think this is actually pretty standard practices for a *lot* of colleges.

… Dude, this is nothing. I go to University of Alabama in Huntsville and we BARELY get 30k to internet1 sites over an unstable connection, and NO p2p programs work. We’ve been screaming for a faster connection, but to no avail. We CAN use a proxy of sorts to get out, but they have blocked traffic to/from those proxys in the past. One of the many reasons why I’m moving off campus this summer…

Living off campus on an 8mbit down and 1.5mbit up cable line just gets better and better.

Not only can I use p2p but I can learn how to use technologies like apache, smtp, sql, vnc and vpn. I can’t imagine how restricting all sorts of legit stuff on college LAN’s actually helps us learn…. Then again I live off campus so what the hell do I care.

My university just start to block p2p programs this semster and i found out it was only in our dorm rooms. The other labs through our network don’t have any restrictions but the user accounts are limited. So i’ll be investing in large amounts of portable storage.

Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) has been doing this for about a year now. The University had blocked P2P traffic for a short period for performance reasons. When P2P was throttled and allowed again, the University got a few to several cease and desist letters each day from the RIAA / MPAA with student IPs. After over one hundred letters in a month, the general council decided it would be better for the taxpayers to not fund student legal defence, and the ban was put in place.

As a uconn student, I am glad they thought of this stupid idea AFTER encrypted torrents were invented.

Looks like a lot of college students are about to figure out http tunneling.

Curiously, their IT department has not.

thats not too bad, my university shapes traffic on torrents in such a way that very few clients work on the network (utorrent being one of the few that does, and does well). Each user is given a virtual 2MB/s connection speed for internet (and with over 4000 users im interested in knowing what their backbone is like lol). If you use torrents you cant get more than 150KB/s down however the upload is non restricted.

The traffic shaping doesnt slow torrents down that much and ensure that the network runs at the best speed for everyone. Unfortunatly as very few clients work through the system as utorrent does DC++ cant access anything outside the network. But the university doesnt stop it from working internally and thanks to that there is over 20TB of shared infomation accessable internally at speeds of upto 10Mbit/s ^_^

I got to Johns Hopkins University and they already do that here. We can only use DC++ :(
