College Downloading

[Sonnentier]

If your college allows large traffic then yes, there should be no problem to download off servers.

Direct Connect enables students to share on campus without stressing external lines and relying on them respectively.

I would try maybe to see if your college has a private DC++ hub. Those can be far better than torrents.

I just checked and it does

but how does it help me if I want my downloads to be undetected?

I did a little research on Direct Connect and from what I can tell I would be limited to whatever other people on the network would be willing to share, which wouldn't be very much since the hub can only be accessed through the university's internet.

So I can use free IPv6! (which doesn't have SSL)

Its direct connection through your college's intranet, meaning it will be very, very fast. Most files should be available, and you'll easily get great speeds.

Also, alot of colleges limit your bandwith, and DC++ normally doesn't factor into that.

I'm still a little confused on how exactly it's supposed to work - where would all the files come from if it's limited to only what's available on campus?

anyways wouldn't all the activity be monitored?

Just use the DC hub that is running on your campus. Outside organizations can't monitor it and it's unlikely your University will rat out their students. This last semester, the university I attended usually had 100TB+ shared at any given time.

Oh that makes sense, but what kind of content was available? I'm pretty picky about what i download

Also, did you just use the DC hub or download some other way?

[Rart]

Generally the content should be very good... but I guess it varies by campus. You should check if your campus has bandwith caps... If it does DC++ is a must.

I would also go with DC++. My college had a couple of hubs and I don't think I ever had a problem finding what I wanted. And the speeds were fantastic.
