if you want to keep your internet priveleges at your college, then don't.

well if i cant use my p2p software, then i dont suppose i want internet privelages. is that the best help you can offer?

Go with a little-known program whose ports aren't blocked, or move into an apartment and get your own broadband.

you won't be saying that when you have a report due in the morning, and have done no research.

If you're using normal kazaa, get k++ and change the port in the options. Maybe it wont be blocked anymore.


Still... Doesn't mean they wont bust you -they can if they want-

If you want to do it , one advice : download SLOWLY - you can set these options on k++, otherwise the network administrators may notice suspicious bandwith usage, and if they care, cut you off.

Yes, I know, it sucks living in a dorm. One day you will have you own appartement, your own telephone-internet line and then you can download freely.

Wouldn't a solution be to change to an anonymous IP address?

Create a VPN to a friend who's living off campus. You can then download off his connection and transfer to your computer. My advice: use port 27015 (Counter-Strike port) and encrypt the vpn. That way if they ask what were you doing, you can tell them it's a computer game.

Okay, maybe I need some clarification on some stuff. Wouldn't the college or university look at a user's IP address to determine if they were using too much bandwidth? I thought that this was how they would determine whether they needed to revoke internet privileges from a user on the network.

Maybe they would and maybe they wouldn't, more likely on those lines they would just set an upper limit dealie like any isp, this is more serious than that, what they almost certainly Will do is revoke you the minute some riaa weasel sniffs you out on kazaa by your ip

if you are still interested try some things like es5 and freenet

Yes, thats also how they can tell if your running a web server or something similar which is also against most policies. You could always keep a backdoor trojan on your computer, block the port it uses until the network guys sya something to you, then you can plead that you were hacked.

I would highly NOT recommend this solution for obvious reasons. Even though you would have the port blocked, I don't think I would feel safe having an open trojan running on my computer.

2 years ago... Back when I was in college, the network admins tried blocking ports for common p2p software. I just changed what ports the program runs on, and it worked better. (I.E. NO .01Kb) They probably have more technologically advanced software & hardware running now then when they did a few years ago, so good luck!

Peace!

thiers an aawesome program colleges was using , it only shared files through your lan system.. So if im connected to the internet, it share files among the ones on the same internet system.. lan share or something, i wish i could remember the name of the software. its suppose to let the college share within itself.

Use IRC, they can't block you for "chatting."
