Post subject:  college internet and the yellow light of doom

hi,

i use the internet connection at my uni for dl's (postgrad student, i have an office :lol: ) its an extremely fast connection (i can get port 80 downloads of upto 2,000KB/s).

anyway, i know all uni's are under constant "hack attacks" 24/7 and therefore they use mucho amounts of firewalling technology.

but. . . what a waste!!

i usually have a share rating of about 6. is there anyway i can get around the yellow light? it seems so unfair to have a backbone connection via the london metropolitican network and not be able to use it! :evil:

i'm sure more uni folks would be willing to behave as supernodes if they could get around the firewall.
