I have a problem. I am in college. I like to download music. Our college recently decided to throttle the bandwidth on port 1214, the port morpheus, kazaa, and most other descent file sharing programs use. I was told that it might be possible to write a script that would let morpheus bypass this port. You can not change the ports in the software itself, but is there a way someone could modify this? Please, a whole college would thank you.

Yeah, sounds like a problem to me.

Good for them!

Use a proxy.

Yeah you can, but it is VERY hard, especially if you dont know what you are doing 😉

I doubt it. I bet the admins would hate me. And that would be horrible.


Again, the best way to keep this from happening (apart from following the law) is to come up with a WELL WRITTEN paper on how:
1. morpheus and friends help education
2. they make the student body more productive
3. DECREASE bandwidth costs
4. decrease load on servers, routers, switches, etc


OR you could pay for your own bandwidth. This would show you why these steps are necessary (other than the security factor). It would also be great experience for the future. Go get yourself a 1-2U server on a major backbone and download GIGS of information daily, not to mention allow 1000's of people have access to it, and see how quickly your hair turns grey and your pockets are empty. Learn some respect and follow the rules KID.
 
I just asked a simple question, I didnt need to get flamed. By the way I do pay for my internet already here with my tuition and housing bill I pay each semester, and I am not breaking any rule by using MY bandwidth to use a completely legal program. Even the school states that I can use Morpheus if I want. Again, thanks for the help. I think Ill stick to the amdzone forum where I dont have to put up with this kinda crap.

I gave you two legitimate ways to solve the problem. And the money you pay is NOTHING compared to what they pay. Setup a proxy andbe done with it.
