Sure is a good thing OIT has blocked the BT ports. Has anybody figured out what action we can take as a community, or as individuals, to convince them to unblock these ports?
These ports are NOT blocked. They ARE throttled (well, not exactly, but that's the gist of it). What does that mean for us inside BYU? Be a little more patient and leave your client open longer. If you have downloaded the binaries by some other means open up a BT client on the files you already have so that everyone else can share your wealth. I will be leaving mine (Wymount) open for the next couple of weeks.
The other thing we could do is set up our own tracker for on-campus use, but I doubt we'd get much better use out of that than if we all just wait for the UUG mirror to update.
Honestly I doubt OIT will unthrottle BT, why would they? You and I only use it for Linux releases, but there are countless hosts who use it to download pirated movies and software.
