<p>PG would block SD trackers?</p>
<p>whats peer guardian? does it block UCSD’s monitoring system or something?</p>
<p>UCSD has no monitoring system.</p>
<p>Ah ok, so it blocks the IPs of the monitoring/tracking companies, so then we’d be safe. I though all this time that SD had monitoring capabilities.</p>
<p>PG blocks IPs that are known to belong to the govt, riaa etc. Obvious flaw to this is that they can just switch to other IPs and still catch you.</p>
<p>whats the worst that i can happen if im happening to bit torrent all 11 seasons of southpark or something huge like that?</p>
<p>^ Worst thing that can happen is that you get blocked from using UCSD’s internet.</p>
<p>UCSD has a monitoring system. They don’t actively monitor you as other colleges, but you still show up in a database. If you use bittorent, they will know. It’s really easy to detect it.</p>
<p>this is only the problem with bit torrent right? anything else wont be caught like yousendit.com or HTTP or anything like that…stupid bit torrent!! but what if use a proxy to download the torrent?</p>
<p>If you use too much bandwidth, you’ll get in trouble. So yes, you can still get in trouble if you download too much.</p>
<p>Son Of A *****</p>
<p>There are alot of files being shared over the network though right?</p>
<p>How much is too much bandwidth?</p>
<p>^ UCSD doesn’t have a set amount. You gamble each time you download something.</p>
<p>“There are alot of files being shared over the network though right?” You’ll have to be a little more specific over what network and what type of files.</p>
<p>The UCSD network.. like people putting up files and stuff for everyone else. Like when I was at a summer program at pomona college, there were guys from the ITS department that put up gigs worth of movies, games, music, and programs.</p>
<p>what we use a port that UCSD has open?</p>

<p>Well I’m sure there will be people who transfer files between each other, yes. But there’s no open network for UCSD, like a ftp or something. There’s direct connect, I guess, but you won’t see non-computer savy people on it. </p>
<p>“what we use a port that UCSD has open?” UCSD doesn’t block ports, I believe. I’m not 100% sure, but I never had problems being blocked from stuff.</p>
<p>It is definitely possible to download, don’t get me wrong.</p>
<p>i know i can download stuff from esnips.com but not 320kbps like bit torrent or movies :(</p>
<p>Any current students use D++?</p>
<p>is that a bra cup size?</p>
<p>No it isn’t.</p>
