    University Bans BitTorrent Sites

    While students at universities in the US are pressured by the RIAA, a British university citing pressure from increasing numbers of copyright infringement notices, has taken out a blunt instrument and banned it ’s students from accessing some of the world’s largest BitTorrent sites, regardless of the legitimate content they contain.

    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.
    A couple of sites I've been working on if you're interested http://www.howtogetfaster.co.uk, [url]http://www.documentaries.me.uk[url] and a new startup http://thelocalseo.co

    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.
