<p>Can we Torrent movies at Cornell? Do students get into legal trouble?</p>
<p>Dc++ .</p>
<p>If you love getting caught for doing illegal stuff, be my guest and torrent. Otherwise use DC++. It’s stupid easy to setup, and craploads faster too.</p>
<p>Better them than me, lol.</p>
<p>My friend got in trouble for torrenting Alladin. I’d keep torrenting to the bare minimum.</p>
<p>Would Megaupload and Rapidshare be a better idea then?</p>
<p>really try to avoid doing it. my friend got caught by CIT from torrenting movies and using limewire and had to explain to her parents why the school fined her over $5000</p>
<p>Cornell does not fine anyone. That “fine” was most likely a settlement from one of the movie associations.</p>
<p>Cornell does not monitor any network traffic.</p>
<p>once in a while people get caught. sometimes they give you a warning sometimes they dont =. get it from DC++, if you can’t, then torrent with IP blocker or megaupload/rapidshare. i’m too lazy to do those except DC++ but DC++ often doesn’t have anything so I just torrent =\ without an ip blocker hahah.</p>
<p>Yeah avoid torrenting. My roommate got caught both torrenting and selling obscene illegal pornographic material and was not only JA’d and suspended, but is being indicted by the Ithaca DA as well. Also because he violated the terms on his housing contract (you can’t run a “business” out of your dorm room), he was evicted and has to live with a group of filthy ECE majors on gun hill. As you might guess, he regrets his decision to torrent.</p>
<p>On the plus side I now have a single!</p>
<p>People who get caught torrenting are just not l33t enough to handle its powers.</p>
<p>if you know where to look you can probably get most movies from megaupload/rapidshare that you could from torrenting.</p>
<p>Obviously look on dc++ first</p>
