<p>Zenbadabing: if he’s doing something legal, then he wouldn’t have to worry about circumventing the law now, does he? </p>
<p>well what he’s doing on torrents was never the question. people assumed he was doing something illegal. the issue is the school doesn’t allow the use of torrents and he’s trying to get around that. so even if he’s doing something legal he’s trying to get around school policy, not trying to circumvent the law.</p>
<p>Okay so torrents aren’t allowed on campuses but there is no violation in using rapidshare ect.?</p>
<p>You can also use Hotspot Shield which acts as a VPN. Works perfectly and is free. I go to Emory and for some reason, on their network, utorrent doesn’t even open without Hotspot Shield.</p>
<p>You’re completely right, he may be doing something that’s perfectly legal. But let’s be honest, chances are his professors probably won’t be asking him to torrent anything for class, so I’d best avoid attempting to circumvent school policy and getting dragged into a slew of unnecessary disciplinary problems. These policies change from school to school- I don’t know what the policy is for your school, but from what I understand, torrent is perfectly fine as long as you don’t get entangled in copyright issues.</p>
<p>use http don’t use torrents</p>
<p>
Correct. Also, it is literally impossible to get caught by the RIAA/MPAA if you use RapidShare.</p>
<p>Purdue has a on-campus p2p network program, Dtella 
It’s UBER FAST. Can DL an entire movie within 30 secs to 1 minute. No joke. Thats why Purdue also is #1 on RIAA’s Most Piracy List.</p>
<p>what a ****ing dork bahahah</p>
<p>I used a VPN to download terabytes of public torrents to a dorm room at a university that functionally bans all BitTorrent traffic due to their prohibitive throttle on it.</p>
<p>However, a seedbox is probably better.</p>
