<p>Are the p2p programs blocked at nu?
Does anyone know how to bypass it?
I mean is the forbidden knowledge widely known</p>
<p>I don't think they're blocked, I just think it's a bad idea to use them at college. They're pretty strict about that stuff.</p>
<p>For music most people use MyTunes, the network sharing function of iTunes, and this is fine, I believe.</p>
<p>I use WinMX. The bandwidth is certainly low. I haven't been caught with it at Northwestern.</p>
<p>I use Ares and it works fine for me. However, I know several people who have been caught downloading movies and programs, so watch out.</p>
<p>does anyone know if mirc has ever been a problem?</p>
<p>Nope. KK, I use BitTorrent. I have been using this program for the past two years, and have not received anything from NUIT.</p>
<p>Shhhh... :D</p>
<p>are warez and limewire okay? As long as you only download songs, would they not care to go after you? (is it only movies and programs people get in trouble with?) </p>
<p>And if it is too risky to use limewire, is there any program they allow (like what is that MyTunes thing that dfliesh is talking about?)</p>
<p>On iTunes there is some feature where you can see the libraries of people who are connected through your network. (I think floors are networked, in Willard at least.) So you can download music from other people in the network directly. I don't know exactly how it works though, I've never used it.</p>
<p>Well either way it is not necessarily legal, so you might as well pick the option that works best for you. In iTunes you can listen to each other's music, but you have to download a special program to be able to put it on your hard drive or iPod.</p>
