sharing within college network

[ASUmusicMAN]

Alright...I have had enough of getting screwed by my college and not being able to share/download at any kind of speed. I research some earlier posts and sharing within the college network was suggested. I ran a google search and the only things I found were Flatlan, and Phynd both of which don't really exist as far as I can tell. Does anyone know of any widely used program that lets you share within a school network??

[Killawat]

A few people i know setup FTP's on they're computers with the locked out 192.168.0.X ip's and used that for a while, i forgot how they did it though, but college staff didn't mind.

[Malicious Intent]

It's a lot more complicated than that. Depends on how they are blocking p2p.
Even then I havn't seen anything other than what Killawat suggested - but my novice technical skills don't have a clue about that.
It was found that one system allowed some of the smaller networks like Ares through, but I expect that loophole has been plugged by now.
Dare I say ESV if you are desperate? Might be enough to cover you until you get your own pad.

I think they use packeteer, or some other packet shaping program that is unfortunately quite good. No networks that I have tried have been able to work (just tried Direct Connect today, but alas...blocked). I had read some earlier stuff on how ESV could concievably get through. I seems to remember zp having a faq/tutorial on ESV, but I can't find anything about it on the site anymore. So I might have to give that a try...should I even...gasp...ask for help/direct me to a site that explains how ESV works

[Wolfie]

I'm sure there is some sort of faq at the ESV site or forums (not recommending it or anything but if that's the only thing the works with your specific situation, guess you gotta dance with the devil, lol). Just don't mention zp over there, they tend to get crabby, lol. ;)

[Malicious Intent]

They explain all that is needed on their website.

Looking through now I'm not too sure if its the answer. Its a messy program and so you don't want to jump straight in.
Sadly I don't know were you can go for impartial advice. ESV has alienated every member of every forum. Their forums are the other extreme.

[ASUmusicMAN]

That's kinda why I wanted to use ESV as a last resort because ZP is the end all be all for all of my p2p needs...and there seems to be history, so i didn't want to offend. But thanks for the help and the quick reply...pray for my strength as attempt to "dance with the devil".

try using a program called HTTPTunnel, u gota pay but it translates everything into normal port 80 traffic. Our school blocks p2p but i can get through with http tunnel

[phalkon30]

The school I'm looking at blocks any kind of transfers except email and HTTP (and other basic browsing stuff). They even lock out any internal transfers such as multiplayer games :(

You could allways provide read access and share your drive on the school network. Depending on how its set up, I think you could use the standard File and printer sharing system.

ouch...

what school do you want to go to?

At my school, we all use UWgolan for campus sharing. it's at CNET downloads i think. the only file sharing programs that bypass the campus firewall are ESV and Ares.

edit:
I can't find UWgolan on the internet anymore, but I wouldn't recommend it anyways, because the university blocked it like after 2 weeks.
MP3 Voyeur 1.2 http://download.com.com/3000-2166-10110556.html?tag=lst-0-1
is the same type of thing.

[ASUmusicMAN]

I tried looking at download.com and cnet and couldn't find "UWgolan"...post a link!!! Thanks!!!

University Wisconsin Platteville. I think after a certain time of day they do allow traffic though, multiplayer games are available after ten PM or something. I didn't have a good chance to talk to the students...or any that knew computers past AOL anyway.

UW Platteville doesn't allow anything. The only time multiplayer games work is on weekends or after midnight when everyone is sleepin. The only p2p I found to work is Ares.

[Malicious Intent]

or after midnight when everyone is sleepin
What sort of college is that!
Surely it should say "or after 6pm when everyone is too drunk to organise a game!"

[BIGDOG_3]

LOL, yea not all is sleepin but enough are to free up enough bandwidth :)

[DainBramaged]

WASTE works most excellently.

[ccc1005]

WOW, blocking multiplayer games, that sucks.

Here at Penn State we have a 1.5 GB/week limit, but no restrictions other than that.

We arent supposed to use Xbox/PS2 but i use XBOX Live all the time and they dont do anything about it, since they only check how much, not what you download.

Might want to check out that HTTP-Tunnel if you are having trouble, I used the free version and it seemed to work quite well.

[Omyn]

What the hell?

Havent they heard the quote "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy".

I mean comeon there are worse things that college kids could be doing, videogames are a great way to forget about all your problems for a while and kill people from across the world :]

Fuck, people could be snorting crack or having sex, I doubt video games should be anywhere near the staffs concerns, sure some people put off doing work and play video games instead but then again people that do that dont really value their colllege education in the first place, its free money to the college so why the hell do they care anyway?

[BIGDOG_3]

my campus blocked http tunnel too and any other tunnelling program.

[ccc1005]

How can they block a tunneling program, doesnt it just use the regular HTTP port??

[Omyn]

By blocking the methods that the program uses in the first place.

[phalkon30]

BIGDOG, I sent you a PM. I'm planning on going to UWP.

I believe they block the ip address and possibly the port 1080.

[brainmess]

i have the same troubles here...(leuven, belgium) but filetopia works a little (slow speeds, mostly). The reason filetopia works is the fact that it uses port randomising, and it's all encrypted too... Ares worked for a while, and so did torrents, but they seem to be blocked now, guess they found out. Tunneling doesn't work. I was hoping edonkey would work, but you can't change your incoming traffic port, only the one for outgoing traffic, so there i'm f*cked again. Well, if someone has a suggestion, let me know, i'll just keep on trying dead http/ftp links now, getting more and more frustrated with each dead link.
