Soon, I will be going away to college and they forbids illegal downloading. I was wondering if there is any way to DL torrents w/o being caught?? thxs for advice
what they dont know wont hurt xD, cause a bunch of college students do that, its not like their gonna check much
^like Bear said most of the time colleges filter BT traffic back at my uni, you could actually download, but at speeds of 0-1kBs
instead of torrents for smaller stuff like CDs and episodes do what we do here on PA go to forums and look for direct downloads that's how a lot of people get content when they can't use BT
wait.. does your college forbid illegal downloading as in they block bt from being used or do they allow it but you have a good chance of getting caught ? - there probably is a way to surpass it if it blocks you from downloading except i don't kno what it is.. i don't this doesn't say much but just giving my opinion
its pretty hard to circumvent firewalls to allow BT to work, unless your some genius programmer/hacker Although you can try to find exploits, cause at my uni, if you went to one of the comp labs, for some reason the BT would work there, if you brought your own laptop and plugged into the network
Honestly, don't do it. It's not worth the risk. Just wait until you get home. Several students have been caught and sued because they downloaded from a college connection.
yeah just do it at home. I know my college gives a quota and they track usage i think . zero tolerance on those things.
Like ppl have said. Most cases it won't work, and if it does, it will be ridiculously slow. Hell, some campuses i know are perfectly fine with uploading and having their own campus wide sharing network. However, the campus IT department can track you down.
try DC++, thats what we had http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/ full network speed of 100Mbs so i was downloading movies at 10MBs, and we had like 10TB of data from the hole campus but it does require people to go home, download fresh stuff and bring it to uni the uni warned us not to share illegal files, but thats only to cover their backs, they didnt attempt to shut it down, because its a closed network, so only campus people can access it, so no cops monitor it
forget about trying to break the firewall or opening up a port. just scan for one. my school has three opened ports that aren't blocked. if you dont want to get in trouble just download heaps of linux distributions to clog up the schools internet -clapclap
