I used to download from Uni, but not by using their network.

I use www.logmein.com to access my PC from home, open my browser remotely and start a few downloads ready for when I'm home.

There is absolutely NO WAY I would use a university network for getting illegal stuff....might as well hang a sign on you that says: "Please BUST ME"!


If I was going to school and wanted p2p, I would have to find a way to use my own....like thepuzzler does now.

Indeed. I know a few people that have got caught at Uni but not because of the download traffic, it was the upload traffic that was noticed.
