nothing. they cant do shit. If it is wireless net then they won't really be able to track it down. Plus every person in this day and age downloads music illegally. Chill out dudeeee.

are you sure? we had to use our unipass to authorise to use the net in the first place so doesnt that mean they can track down people?

peter22 is being a wanker.

if u use torrents often then you will be caught. You sign in with ur unipass so i think that means they can tract you. Plus with p2p software they can tell when ur connecting to many peers, so they know that your downloading something.

No no fines. What if they tried to fine you you'd tell them to go fuck themselves.

They can't do anything.
haha oh right... seems like it'll work lol

Plus if they complain and send you an email the simple reply is:

"Go fuck yourself"

These people can do NOTHING to you.

NOTHING.
let's see you try that, turbo.

$50 says you ticked a box when you enrolled saying you'll abide by whatever rules your uni imposes on you. i.e. you'll be the uni's bitch when you use their network.

so replying to a department who controls whether or not you can log in with "go fuck yourself" is kinda like seeing a v8 police car and driving past at 120 going "YEAH FUCK U PIGS!!!"

and i think a uni is sophisticated enough to block all non-web traffic (no changing the port to 80 on your privately installed utorrent won't do anything).

which stops u from downloading from rapidshare yourself, haha

i rapidshared one thing, and the dl speed was really slow

but that was risky enough, i dont think its the smartest idea to download at uni imo.
