<p>I know torrents do not work on campus, but i was wondering if downloads through mIRC are still fine and go at full speed. Secondly for anyone who currently goes to ucsc do you have a speedtest.net of the schools internet =P? would like to be able to continue streaming during off hours while im going to school.</p>

<p>torrents do work at school, just don’t be stupid and get caught.</p>

<p>Resnet(the wired connection to the rooms)
is about 8 mbps up is 6
Cruznet(wireless available for everyone)
is about 2-4 mbps, you also cannot play online games on cruznet</p>

<p>aw pooey =(. i thought ucsc internet was similar to Cals 80ish down and 50ish up</p>

<p>80 down per person? theres no way Cal’s internet is that fast per student</p>

5

<p>i think so. i know MIT has 100up/100down in the dorms</p>

<p>I can’t believe that each person would get that fast of an internet connection, 40mbps is already considered extremeley fast, but 80 or 100 per person at a college just seems unreal.</p>

<p>thats not a per person connection, thats directly connected using an admin account or to the servers.</p>

<p>i think it that’s the actual speed. their wifi is currently @ 25mb. and at my cc we currently get 50/50 off the line to our laptops.</p>
