<p>my university blocks p2p and I was wondering if there is any p2p program that works in the university for a mac.</p>
<p>encrypt the data</p>
<p>Technically facebook has a program for sharing files...</p>
<p>http tunnel</p>
<h1>irc, #bt,#usenet</h1>
<p>IRC...or just use AIM, thats the easiest IMO</p>
<p>aim, cmon now
IRC is great, but i had the same question.
does the univ. track your IP and things like an ISP can? does it limit GB transfer or is it limited to download and/or upload? Mostly my question is if i am downloading some questionably attained proggies, will they come a knocking saying that i can't do that, etc, etc. I want to know if i will be able to download that super duper $60 game, play it, like it, and then buy it with relatively little risk. If I can't, I will always steal the lounge bandwidth or something. Just wondering. Happy leaching to all.</p>
<p>schools dont care if you download illagal contant, That is your ass you have to worry about,</p>
<p>They care that you are hogging there bandwidthm which costs them money.</p>

<p>Uberfast using the Internet2 connections available at most colleges and usually doesn't count towards your bandwidth limit.</p>

<p>I'm not doubting you, but I don't understand how a local network can discern an outside p2p connection from any other traffic? It's all IP addy to IP addy after all.</p>
<p>blocking ports. yeah if you have any idea of what you're doing, you can work around it somehow...but the average user won't.</p>
<p>aye, i am just an avg user...i do somehow know how to surf the web and play starcraft. so how would my ass be on the line? if they don't care enough to track me down, then why would i get into any trouble? i hope you're not talking about virii (dont care if its wrong), spyware, trojans and stuffs. sorta confused...?:O</p>
<p>did u try DC++??</p>
<p>Use a proxy IP. It works for censor services like WebSense (that my school had). If you use a proxy IP, the college network shouldn't be able to trace that IP as coming from inside its network, so you should be fine. As always, have a router with a hardware firewall. And if that doesn't work, DC++ is really underground, so you should be able to use that.</p>
<p><em>edit</em></p>
<p>Basically how a proxy works is that you're connecting to the internet via another person's (or in most cases, a server's) IP address. So yours is masked - it's as if you are connected to the internet via a server from anywhere in the world. It's not that hard to do either. In IE, select Tools --> Internet Options; choose the Connections tab and click the LAN Settings button. Check in the "Use proxy server" checkbox. Now all you have to do is find an IP and Port that works (this is trial an error pretty much. Once you put the IP and Port in and click ok, if your internet doesn't work than the server doesn't work for some reason). </p>
<p>For FireFox, select Tools --> Options. The "General" tab will be default; click on "Connection settings". Click the "manual proxy configuration" and enter in the IP address and Port just like in IE.</p>
<p>There are tons of sites to find IP addresses and Ports, but I'd compile a textfile list at home because your college may block access to proxy sites from inside their network. That's what WebSense did once it realized that you could bypass their filtering system by using a proxy server. Happy d-loading!</p>
<p>try acqlite at <a href="http://www.acqlite.org/%5B/url%5D">http://www.acqlite.org/</a> , it seems to work within your network, but i cant find too much information on it..</p>
