Anyone live in the Cal Poly Dorms?

I have a monthly newsgroup account and I'll be moving into the dorms at Cal Poly. Does Resnet block or restrict newsgroup access in any way? If so, I should probably cancel my subscription next month.
 
The port is either blocked or they'll be bound to catch you using 100gb of bandwidth a month.

BTW which Cal Poly are ya going to?

I'm going to Cal Poly SLO. Pomona is a wannabe Cal Poly.

Ahh, I know a bunch of friends that are going to Pomona. But from what upperclassmen friends say, everything from BT to DC++ is blocked. I'm an incoming freshmen though so I don't know.
 
Hey now, I go to Pomona. While I was in the dorms I got 500KiB/s from newsgroups. In the on campus apartments I get around the same.

You're the bastards who stole the calpoly.edu domain!
 
im going there this fall too. swt . doing enviromental engineering and maybe mechanical.
yeah if its the dorm its probably blocked. SLO is pretty damn strict about what goes on in the school

If it's a dorm, and if it's even remotely questionable in legality, it's blocked. End of story.

You can do illegal stuff through :80 and :21, but I doubt those ports are blocked.
 
Pomona uses a Packetshaper from Packeteer. It categorizes data by the contents of the packets, so they throttle P2P regardless of port. They also get a nice set of graphs categorizing data usage by port (switch port, meaning your computer) and by protocol.

Not sure if SLO uses a similar setup, but I would think they would.
 
3rd year CP student here, lived in the dorms in 2002-2003 and at that time, not much was blocked, but they were really ramping up the effort to block anything with illegal possibilities. When I was there, for 3/4 of the year we had a DC++ server on the school network, used by pretty much everybody but it eventually got shut down.

So they weren't blocked before, but that was 3 years ago.

What major are you entering?
 
Pomona's not that bad. We might be out in the sticks like SLO but at least civilization is a quick drive. God I'd be bored out of my mind at SLO!

5th year EE living by the beach. Screw living in Pomona!

Your post made no sense.
 
Sure it did! Pomona is hick, no question about it. So is SLO (I have friends that went). I'm saying at least at Pomona its easy to get out of the sticks and into the city. And, unlike SLO, you don't have to live in the sticks, hence my comment that I'm living/working in LA whilst attending CPP.

You do realize SLO is a resort town, right? That being said, SLO has Pismo and some of the best sand dunes in the US.

Its still out in the sticks, resort town or not.

EDIT: Now tell me, what's the use of a resort town that caters to old people? And, what use are the dunes if you haven't got a sand rail or ATV of some sort? Are you actually going to go to Pismo? My money is on you'll go like twice in your time there.
