<p>I know Cornell has a internet download limit for each student that is 10gb per month. Do you think iTunes downloads would count towards this?</p>
<p>Probably. Don’t worry though, 10 gigabytes is plenty (unless you download a ton of illegal movies).</p>
<p>yea, anything outside of Cornell’s network will count.</p>
<p>how much does it cost for extra GBs?</p>
<p>$1.50 per GB. </p>
<p>$0.0015 per MB.</p>
<p>I burned through 10 GB in a week of streaming Lost in High Definition.</p>
<p>Anyone know how much Hulu takes up like on a 380p stream of a show, (22 min). </p>
<p>I NEED to watch The Office this season! my fav show…</p>
<p>You can watch the office in the lounges with the common room tv.</p>
<p>Oh I forgot about that…thanks hah</p>
<p>oh i didnt even realize watching shows on hulu would count towards that!!! i cant be missing House & The Office!!!</p>
<p>lol most people will realize they have little to no time to watch tv shows anymore.</p>
<p>you will be much more invested in making relationships with other people.</p>
<p>Or you can make relationships with other people WHILE watching shows.</p>
<p>Just curious, how commonly do students get busted for filesharing? That IT email they sent out to us gave me quite a scare and I uninstalled limewire on my laptop lol.</p>
<p>To add to generalyao’s question, how safe is Cornell’s filesharing network? (forgot what it’s called). I’m more worried about viruses than I am about getting caught, haha.</p>
<p>its called DC++. and it seems like it should be safe if you have the proper antivirus programs.</p>
<p>how much is DC++ monitored by Cornell or those recording industries? Also, how do you setup DC++.</p>
<p>No idea about the first one, although Cornell said they don’t nanny the net and I believe it’s a local network so stuff from DC++ doesn’t count as internet usage (not absolutely positive) and so is hard or impossible for the RIAA to monitor. But I’m really not sure. For the second, use your noodle, question Google!</p>

<p>btw, I watch about 4-5 hours of Hulu a week (gotta love television, oh dear) and I would usually go over my limit every month last year. not big deal though, minimal charges even for that.</p>
<p>DC++ has a plethora of movies, music, and most popular tv shows are up within a couple hours from when they air. The download speeds are extremely fast. I’ve downloaded movies in well under 2 minutes. Using DC++ does not count against the download limit because it’s part of the internal network. The RIAA does not monitor it because they can’t. You need to be on-campus with a valid student netID to access the internal network. I’ve had friends from CIT say that while the Cornell administration doesn’t technically approve use of DC++, that they only passively denounce it means they kind of accept it. It’s an alternative to torrenting (which you can and likely will get in trouble for). Cornell would rather not be hounded by the RIAA or the MPAA for student information because students are illegally downloading. Using DC++ protects the university from these issues since the RIAA or MPAA can’t target students who use it, while they can target those who use torrents, etc. to get stuff. I’m sure if the administration really wanted to shut down DC++, they could because they do control the internal network ultimately. DC++ itself is run by a small group of students though.</p>
