Downloading @ Uni

    The_Jelly NSFW? :P

    I know a lot of universities have started to throttle BT so there is no way I can download stuff like that. I know a lot of people who use DC++ to download stuff but I don't think anyone started a hub or w/e for it yet. I usually use mIRC now for anime but I also found out that the school blocks almost all the ports for mIRC. How would I go about downloading movies and stuff then? I can obviously find stuff on warez sites easily but I won't really get good speeds. Does anyone else's uni do the same thing?

    most unis have DC++, you just need to ask around the people, most people dont know about them because they're real hidden, otherwise i make good use of the 1.5MB/s - 2mb/s downloads on megaupload XD

    watch their bandwidth restrictions though.. dc++ is the first way if you can have a wired connection since it works through localhost which wont kill bandwidth

    which Uni is it?

    HDZone episodes on Wi-Fi < 2 mins, wired? lol... godspeed.

    Torrent download are controlled. Once you have started the download at home, sky is the limit. 1-2Mb/s easy.
