Your campus pretty much needs every bit of it. There's probably lots of P2P action going on. :D

ROFLMAO!!!! my campus network is on serious lockdown...no p2p, i cant ftp to photobucket, there are NO open ports, i cant accept incoming aim connections, if someone does find a way to start downloading a movie from the web the network will actually cut that persons bandwidth to slower than a modem connection...so basically this connection is useless(except when i had my pc and had http-tunnel....but my school managed to lock that down too)

btw...bryant university (formerly known as Bryant College one year ago) up here in RI....#1 rated was renselier polytechnic institute (AKA RPI)

No wonder, the speed is so high; it's unusable to anybody.

I go to the 5th most wired campus in the country, although my home network is faster, when I am there I have absolute access to everything I do when I am home, they dont lock any ports or block any sites... which is good because back in high school they blocked facebook..
