<p>You get an education discount on software, but i'm not sure how much of a discount it is vs MSRP.</p>
<p>What about hardware? Esp. for someone in the Engineering school.</p>
<p>I got caught once....</p>
<p>Got a cease and decist letter and my internet blocked for a few hours. All I had to do to get it back up was just sign a contract saying that I will "never" download copyrighted material again...</p>
<p>theres some hardware discounts too. i think the macs are like $100-$150 off MSRP. dont exactly remember. and it doesnt matter what school youre in. all current students and faculty get the same discount.</p>
<p>benedict: whoa! what were you using? torrents?</p>
<p>who cares about software deals, i wanna know prices for ATI nVidia MSI Creative u know?</p>
<p>and what if u use alot of bandwith?</p>
<p>haha yeah, it was torrents...</p>
<p>gonna try to get off torrents and use dc++ more. Sad thing is that dc++ usually has old stuff</p>
<p>There's no bandwidth limit, but there is a packetshaper that adjusts the bandwidth according to load. Http and some other things like email get priority over downloads..something like that</p>
<p>well if i d/l mostly from http servers so that means i can use all the bandwidth i want?</p>
<p>and u cant use torrents at all? there will fosho be some companies that will only distribute their legit stuff over bt in the future</p>
<p>You yourself cannot use torrents or the entire school cannot use BT?</p>
<p>BitTorrent is a grey area for UCLA because some movie/game trailers now get advertised to its students (and to students at other college campuses) via torrents. I've been using the standard BitTorrent client since freshman year and have had no problems with it... :rolleyes:</p>
