Hi ppl,

I am studying in a college and like to download a lot of movies and TV shows.The college has a dedicated 8 MBpS line and anyone in the college can access it.Nowadays when i try to download a .rar,.avi,.zip,.mp4,.mp3,......etc the server says the page was blocked and contact /Root, so when i asked my lab incharge he said that they had installed a new security software 'Novell securities'.So is there any way to download it coz it is allowed in my college to download anything at evening....

P.S.-I have tried proxy,Download accelerators etc But no use...

isn't using torrent clients or torrents in a secure network like .. office/inst/colleges/IT parks impossible..cant they detect it??

wired lan or wi fi ..both..they can detect the packet drops...so its not worth the pain..

8MBps, i.e., 64Mbps? That sounds too hard to believe. Your college's network would be faster than most university networks in the U.S. Mind posting a screen shot from speedtest.net?
