Actually, as of now I'm not connecting at all... Bittorrent isn't firewalled is it?


Depends on where you are.  I've actually noticed that my Bittorrent
speeds dropped by a 2 or 3 orders of magnitude over the summer from here
on campus.  Probably something to do with the viruses that went around
and OIT throttling packet types to control network congestion.  I get
much faster speeds from my 256 Kb connection at home.

Good point. OIT did say they were going to throttle a bunch of stuff, but not cut it off entirely. I wouldn't be surprised if they just blindly throttled everything not web and email. I wouldn't really blame them either.

So what we need then is to get the isos and set up a peer here on campus. I'm happy to try to do so, but it won't be until I can actually get something.
