<p>So i know its usually a no-no to use p2p file-sharing like bitcomet on college campuses as you are likely to get tracked and caught but is Megaupload/ Rapidshare okay?</p>
<p>I use the campus woreless network and I download from megaupload/rapidshare/mediafire almost everyday lol.</p>
<p>torrenting is blocked
you can still proxy</p>
<p>plus there’s a private dc++ hub that uses the intranet thru resnet
like 10mbps</p>
<p>How are the speeds on the campus’ network? Are they capped? What about usenet access?</p>
<p>so FOR SURE it is okay to rapidshare/megaupload on ucsb campus without getting caught?</p>
<p>There is no explicit ban on Rapidshare/Megaupload on [ResNet</a> Responsible Use Policy](<a href=“http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/resnet/responsible-use.htm]ResNet”>http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/resnet/responsible-use.htm) … and it’s not blocked.</p>
<p>But it does say you’re not supposed to download copyrighted material, regardless. So it depends on what you download, and you probably wont get caught either way.</p>
<p>thanks a lot for all the responses guys and gals!!!</p>
