Like someone said, most schools have a unknown bandwidth limit and if you go above it, they will disable or suspend your internet access.
I think its completely irresponsible to torrent on a school's internet. Why don't you live off campus so you can get your own ISP?
i jumped on in my friends office on campus today just to test it out...was running at 12/30 mbit for about half an hour before i got shut down : (((
most university automatically cut off the net when a user exceeds given bandwidth. Our university has like 2 gb bandwidth per day =/
I get a 40/40 pipe with no limits :P You just need to take proper precautions...besides I figure the thousands of idiots using limewire will go down before me....not that I'm downloading anything illegal or anything :whistling
why is it irresponsible? you pay the school for internet usage in your tuition bill usually.Quote:
