<p>Is there any way to download music here without getting in trouble with the administration or caught by that Clean Access Agent thing? Or would listentoyoutube.com even be okay?</p>
<p>Haha I use a similar site to listentoyoutube.com, onlinevideoconverter.com</p>
<p>But I do not know if there is a way, and I wouldn’t risk it either. I’ve heard of students becoming kicked out + fines of over $10,000.</p>
<p>You should do all music downloading either at home, or not on the Resnet.</p>
<p>Ha well thanks for the advise. I’lll check out that website. If not I’ll just wait til I go home on thanksgiving to update my music since I’m from NorCal.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t torrent in the dorms. If its a direct download, then they can’t track that. If you can get a megaupload/rapid share then you can d/l all you want. However, I heard if you go over a certain limit, they may cut/limit your internet. </p>
<p>Have you heard of Pandora Internet Radio? Try checking it out! I use and its free!!!</p>
<p>is rapidshare really okay? because sometimes there are 1 or 2 albums i want to download but i get scared hahah. im not downloading movies or anything so i shouldnt be too worried about the limit right?</p>
<p>i use [url=<a href=“http://www.zippysharemp3.com%5Dwww.zippysharemp3.com%5B/url”>http://www.zippysharemp3.com]www.zippysharemp3.com[/url</a>] to download music
i likemostly rap and dance music for me</p>
<p>you dont have to download a program like limewire, just grab songs from the internet
free= good :)</p>
<p>I believe you can’t even download torrents in the dorms. They do something to block it so it doesn’t upload or download. Or wait, when I clicked a torrent link it wouldn’t even let me save or open the torrent file.
There is a workaround though, but it can probably lead directly to you cus you’re logged in with your UCInet username and such. Idk.</p>
<p>Based on what I’ve heard, you just can’t use a torrenting or any P2P program to download stuff. You can stream like, movies on those Chinese sites or download directly from sites, but as for torrenting, they seem to be really, really good at detecting those. Honestly, don’t have Limewire or uTorrent or Bittorrent or any software on your computer since that might really end up ****ing you over. I go home every week so I don’t mind this, but yeah, for others, the Youtube thing might work really well.</p>
<p>post above me is correct. they have something called a packeteer, which detects what your doing. any p2p or torrent traffic automatically get shot down to like 1 KB/sec transfer speeds (but you wont get in trouble, just get horrible speeds)</p>
<p>best workaround is to use direct download sites like rapidshare, megaupload, etc. speeds then are excellent (i’ve gotten well over 30 MB/sec many times)</p>
<p>if you enjoy k-pop, use ihoneyjoo.com ^_^</p>
<p>what about dirpy?
ripping songs off youtube?</p>
<p>How about JDownloader & FlashGot? My friend @ UCDavis uses these to mooch all the songs and movies from Davis’ connection. This might be the case only if Davis isn’t strict at all on their internet stuff.</p>

<p>Sweet, that is good to know. Because I do download a lot of stuff from Megaupload, and I was worried there were going to enforce their “download rules” on that site too.</p>
<p>i’m a commuter, so it’s not much of an issue, but it’s scary to hear all this stuff about catching you and such. :[</p>
<p>i remember seeing people from fbi come to middle earth, i heard it was to arrest some kid for piracy or something over the net</p>
<p>I wonder if any of this has really happened, or if it’s just scare tactics… >_<</p>
<p>if it’s the scare tactics, they’re using a very good one.
if it has really happened, it’s scary :[</p>
<p>I’ve heard that college campuses are the first places they look 'cause it’s a concentration of people that are most probably doing it and they’re easy to catch.</p>
<p>you guys are seriously worrying too much. i downloaded stuff all the time. you won’t get caught. america is too busy fighting a losing war to deal with us. if you’re scared but really need to download stuff, you can hide behind peerguardian2, google it.</p>
<p>download everything you can now, because once ACTA passes, thats when its officially over.</p>
<p>No, I mean, I know people personally, about two or three relatives/friends who have gotten caught. I think it’s worth it to go to like, McDonald’s or some place with Wi-Fi once a week and download the stuff that you need.</p>
<p>You know what I was thinking about, people don’t always use torrents for downloading illegal stuff. You can download freeware off torrents as well, the biggest example being Linux.</p>
<p>Linux is an absolutely free OS, and it’s not illegal to download it from anywhere…hm.</p>
