College limits bandwidth of KaZaA

[JohnCU]

Clemson University has a limit on KaZaA so that you can't download more than 10kb/s or so, but programs like Morpheus download at 500-700kb/s, so is there anything I can do or edit to get around the bandwidth limitation?

lucky u

at least u can downlaod with kazaa and such

my school and its area netwroks have blocked all the ports taht use those programs

Good luck. DCIT is evil.

I'll say it before and I'll say it again. It's always best to get your own broadband connection. I'm trying to do that now for the school's apartments. This wireless sh!t sucks.

I thought Kazaa and Morpheus were very similar, only differed in graphical terms....maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe Kazaa goes on a different port, which is blocked/capped.

Why don't you just use Morpheus?

 

[JohnCU]

Morpheus is very very very limited on content.

use This thats what i use cause our school blocks everything. even gunetilla clients

University at Buffalo capped it to 1 Mbit/sec... thank god. P2P kills our bandwidth.

My school assigns specific networking outlet to dorm residents - they said it's b/c some companies have been complaining to the college about students pirating that now they can identify who's d/ling what.

Does your school allow that to be run?

Yeah, like the college has any reason to help you download stuff illegally, and in the process, basically shut down thier network.

yeah, my university completely blocked those things in the dorms for a while, but then they realized that it was futile and they basically stuck us with the threat: If we catch you utilizing über bandwidth (esp. upload), you'll have your connection shut down. So those of us who could selectively use P2P got what we needed, and the University limited bandwidth consumption. I thought that it was an intelligent compromise They really couldn't shut down the ports, because there is so much experimentation and collaboration between our university and others around the world, and chances are that if they limited any ports then it would cut off some prof's connection to his colleagues or something.
